Reading External Datagroup files via iControlREST

Is it possible to read/edit the contents of an external datagroup file via iControlREST directly without downloading the file?   https://{{big_ip_a_mgmt}}/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/external/my_sampl...

dgshow = mgmt.tm.util.bash.exec_cmd('run', utilCmdArgs='-c "cat /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/data_group_d/{0}"'.format(file_name))

    Thank you Kailas ... it worked. Below is my working script to read the contents of all the data groups and display its contents.

    dglist = mgmt.tm.util.bash.exec_cmd(
    'run', utilCmdArgs='-c "ls /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/data_group_d"')

 Write to a file and then read it line by line
dgfile = open("dgfilelist", "w")
dgfile.write(dglist.commandResult)
dgfile.close()
dgfile = open("dgfilelist", "r")
for file in dgfile:
    dgshow = mgmt.tm.util.bash.exec_cmd('run', utilCmdArgs='-c "cat /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/data_group_d/{0} " '.format(file))
     print file contents
    print (dgshow.commandResult)
    print ("========")
