Example aspects include techniques for collection of vendor-agnostic state and configuration information from network devices. These techniques may include receiving first device information from a network device of a network, the first device information including configuration information or state information in a vendor specific format and parsing, via a template associated with the vendor specific format, the first device information to generate parsed device information. In addition, the techniques may include generating, based on a vendor-agnostic model and the parsed device information, second device information in a vendor-agnostic format, and generating a network representation including the second device information. Further, the techniques may include dynamically generating an application programming interface (API) for accessing the network representation of the second device information via an API request.
