ssh accept "yes" in automation script possible ?

ssh accept "yes" in automation script possible ?

With the help of ssh i am executing the script...

Before executing the ssh command, at very first time i need to do ssh manually and typing "yes" to accept RSA key fingerprint...Can we do it through automation by passing yes as an argument...

$

The authenticity of host 'hostname (xx.xx.xx.xx)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is 83:71:28:7c:55:38:28:4e:9e:51:32:57:19:9e:d2:d9.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

    Yes you can.

    Try launching it from expect, or using an expect module for your favorite scripting language. I do this all the time in python, and in regular tcl/expect.
    #!/usr/bin/python
    import pexpect, sys, time, re
    SSH_NEWKEY = 'Are you sure you want to continue connecting'
    
      ssh = pexpect.spawn('ssh user-name@%s'%(host))
      retval = ssh.expect([SSH_NEWKEY, '[Pp]assword:', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT]
    , timeout = TIMEOUT)
      time.sleep(1)
    
      if retval == 0:
        ssh.sendline ('yes')
        i = ssh.expect(['[Pp]assword: ', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT], timeout = TIMEOUT)
        time.sleep(1)
        if i > 0:
    .....
    

    OR
    #!/usr/bin/expect
    ......
    proc myconnect { ip pass enable } {
      if { $ip != "" } {
        spawn ssh admin@$ip 
        expect_before {
          "Connection closed by $ip" {
            catch { close -i $spawn_id }
            return 0
          }
        }
        expect {
        # anticipate connection issues along the way and not get hung up
          timeout {
            return 0
          }
          "Connection refused" {
            return 0
          }
          "Are you sure you want to continue connecting" {
            send "yes\r"
            exp_continue
          }
          "Do you want to change the host key on disk" {
            send "yes\r"
            exp_continue
          }
    .......
