You need to do a print with a query matching the item.

To get the rx-byte, I think you’d also need to add “stats”.

So:

ret.sendCommand("/interface/print\n=stats=\n=.proplist=rx-byte\n?name=ether5");

Alternatively (and BTW I had checked previously, and it appears to work only now, in 6.*), you can do:

ret.sendCommand("/interface/get\n=number=ether5\n=value-name=rx-byte");

P.S. “/put” is pretty much useless in the API, despite its existence - it merely echoes whatever you put as “message”. It might’ve been more useful if at least it outputted it on everyone’s terminals, but alas, no.
