Can I get variables on Flow in REST API?

Hello, I have a question.

I hope to get variables data on NiFi Flow in REST API.

But, I found processor group variables data, not found flow's variables data api.

How do I do it?

Thank you

Hi @Seongmin Park
The "NiFi Flow" itself is also a process group, see on the left hand side when you log in, note the Process group ID that belongs to my NiFi Flow. I will also set a var on the NiFi Flow and retrieve it with REST:

Setting a random var on it;

And getting the variable data of the NiFi Flow over REST:

[root@c3175-node4 ~]# curl -i -X GET http://172.25.35.14:9090/nifi-api/process-groups/dadadbcd-0164-1000-16c1-6c50ce94361e/variable-registry
