For qm, yes. For pvesh, no.

Instead of the initially mentioned command

just do something like
> for i in 100 101; do pvesh create nodes/dev/qemu/$i/snapshot --snapname ready; done
where you replace dev with a node name of your choice. This API path is documented in [0].

qm snapshot is actually one of those commands that is mapped pretty directly to the API [1].
