Hi Team,

My requirement is to extract all variables info along with its definitions. Can anyone pls suggest a way to achieve this via API's?

Please suggest

You can use the Engine API to create a session object that is retuning all variables. Something like this:

const variableList = {
    qInfo: {
      qType: "VariableList",
    },
    qVariableListDef: {
      qType: "variable",
    },
  };

  // create session object
  const sessionObj = await doc.createSessionObject(variableList);
  // get the layout of the session object
  const layout = await sessionObj.getLayout();

  // layout.qVariableList.qItems -> all variables definitions

  // you can dispose of the session object if you want
  // await doc.destroySessionObject(sessionObj.id);

Hi,

You can use the Variable API.
