Please share the code if you have it handy.

Assuming that the host has already been added to the system then you can
get the details with a Python script like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params

api = API(
  url='https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api',
  username='admin@internal',
  password='******',
  insecure=True
)

host = api.hosts.get(name="myhost")
nics = host.nics.list()
for nic in nics:
    print("%s: %s" % (nic.get_name(), nic.get_mac().get_address()))

api.disconnect()

This will print something like this:

eth0: 52:54:00:9d:a7:26

If the host hasn't been added you can add it, without activating it:

#!/usr/bin/python

from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params

api = API(
  url='https://rhevm35.example.com/ovirt-engine/api',
  username='admin@internal',
  password='******',
  insecure=True,
)

api.hosts.add(
  host = params.Host(
    name="myhost",
    address="myhost.example.com",
    root_password="******"
  )
)

api.disconnect()
