FICON Status reporting

JPMC would like another option other than CONFIGxx on z/OS to report the status of channels on their z13's using Automation. A WEB API to submit a query to all channels for the operating status, then they would take the information returned and compare it to the last time the query was issued to verify if all the operating status is the same.
