  1. Launch the command in the Revit UI
  2. Look at the end of the journal file
  3. you will find something like Execute external command and what is following between the two : can be taken to replace the string in the last line of the following sample
# encoding: utf-8

from pyrevit import HOST_APP, UI

uiapp = HOST_APP.uiapp

uiapp.PostCommand(UI.RevitCommandId.LookupCommandId("CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%Add-Ins%Revit Lookup%Options%RevitLookup.Commands.SnoopActiveViewCommand"))

for Reference, read the following https://jeremytammik.github.io/tbc/a/1040_postcommand.htm
and see code samples in C# here
