You'll probably want to query 

https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/?$select=name,fullPath
, filter your results, and the query the state of each pool that matched using 
https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/(fullpath)/stats?$select=status.availabilityState
. You will have to replace / in the fullPath with ~ in your pool member query.

    Thanks Brad. Sorry, I think I did not made my question clear. I have three pools that start with CDEQ_. As we do CDEQ* to filter only the pools that start with CDEQ in GUI. Is there a way to achieve the same doing a GET call like https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~CDEQ*. Or do I need to do the usual way. Get all the pools returned with https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/ and match the pool name that starts with CDEQ through my script.

    You can not query with pattern matching or wildcards at this time. You will have to gather, filter, and query status of each like I suggested above.
