API call that includes info on if a part is sheet metal or not

I have tried using the body details end point and metadata but I am not seeing anything in those that I can use to definitively gate a yes or no if it is sheet metal.  Anyone know if there is a way to do this without relying on putting information into part properties?

You can do it with the /parts/d/{did}/{wvm}/wvmid} endpoint with the url param for includeFlatParts=true

Flat parts will be "isFlattenedBody" set to true.
They will also have a property "unflattenedPartId" which corresponds to the part id for the folded part.

You can use
/partstudios/d/{did}/{wvm}/{wvmid}/e/{eid}/featurescript
and in the FS evaluate qActiveSheetMetalFilter with the parts in question.

Thanks @ilya_baran.  This look's like the same data that comes from the parts endpoint but for everything in the part studio.  I'm not seeing anything there that indicates is a part is sheet metal or not.  Do you know what property I should be looking for?

Ah yes. Thanks.  That will give enough info for a solid if statment.

Caden's approach is probably simpler, and doesn't require FS knowledge.  The featurescript data is definitely not the same as for the parts endpoint, since it's the result of executing an arbitrary FS (which can determine which parts are sheet metal and which are not).
