Steps
GET /printer/objects/list to discover which Klipper printer objects are currently loaded and available.
POST /printer/objects/query with a JSON body like {"objects": {"toolhead": ["position","status"], "gcode_move": null}} — null returns all attributes of that object.
Read the requested status back from the response's status field, alongside the eventtime timestamp.
Use the query-string form (GET /printer/objects/query?toolhead&extruder=temperature) only for simple, one-off lookups.
Known gotchas
If a requested object or attribute doesn't exist, it is silently omitted from the response rather than raising an error.
Klippy must be connected and generally in the 'ready' state, or queries return incomplete or empty results.
