Get the filtered response in Elasticsearch cat APIs

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am planning to get the information of all the primary shards in my ES cluster using _cat/shards API, but I don't see any option to get only the primary shards in the API response, I tried using prirep:p in the h=index,store,prirep:p,index&v but it didn't work also filter_path filter_path=prirep:p , is there is any way to filter the response in cat APIs of ES.

A sample response from ES

  791261 STARTED 563.3mb p      my_index
  789324 STARTED 563.2mb p      my_index
  791140 STARTED 563.1mb p      my_index
  789066 STARTED 562.8mb p      my_index
  789896 STARTED 562.7mb p      my_index
  791138 STARTED 562.2mb r      my_index
  789993 STARTED 562.2mb r      my_index

What I want is the below response, notice r (replica) shards are removed in response.

  791261 STARTED 563.3mb p      my_index
  789324 STARTED 563.2mb p      my_index
  791140 STARTED 563.1mb p      my_index
  789066 STARTED 562.8mb p      my_index
  789896 STARTED 562.7mb p      my_index

I don't want to parse the response using jq, as shown in this SO answer because I would be implementing the code also and using the Get request in the browser itself.
