Output of dnf repolist

I was referring to remote machines that interrogate Fedora hosts with DNF. My scripts access hosts remotely. So I am wondering if they have access to DNF API remotely, from an arbitrary OS that is not Fedora.

Not as a remote API, no — it’s a library, not a service. You’d need something to run.

I do wonder if maybe @td211’s suggestion of looking directly at the files in /etc/yum.repos.d is going to be your best bet in practice. Theoretically, a config could put some repos in a different place, but I have never actually ever seen that happen. Parse the files and look at the values for enabled.

If you need to manage Fedora host dnf repos remotely and generically, there’s the Ansible yum_repository module:
