Hi,

Both are good options depending on what the device exposes and how snmp agent/web api are implemented.

If it has an web api then this can be more efficient and flexible data wise. Modern security.

However SNMP works over UDP, essentially connectionless so it's inherently more lightweight and requires less bandwidth in a network.
