How to access data written to parts with setAttribute

Hi,
I'm attempting to write a program that analyzes some of the geometry of each part, and then writes the results into the parts in order for another app to pick it up and read it through the API. I've successfully written the data I need to the parts by using setAttribute, but I've been going through the API request list and have not yet found any returns that will contain the data I've written to the parts. Does anyone know where FS Attributes are stored, and if it's possible to access them through the API?
Thanks!

Hello and welcome!
The best way to get the attributes you've set is via the evaluate FeatureScript API. You can refer to to the developer portal help section titled "Feature list API" for an example of calling this API.
The FeatureScript function you provide can then:- Query for the relevant parts (possibly qEverything, possibly qAttributeQuery to filter for parts with your attribute type)
- Get the attribute as a variable via getAttributes
- Return the attribute or attributes
Let us know if you have any questions!
