Retrieving Reference Variables Along with Their Resolved Values from a Public API

How can I retrieve both the reference variable (e.g., ${MySQL.PORT}) and its resolved value (e.g., 8800) from a public API? Currently, the API directly provides the resolved value, but I need both the reference format and the value in the response. How can I achieve this?

That's not immediately possible using the API today. What is your use case?

Following up here with a correction; it is indeed possible to get both the unrendered reference variable values and the resolved variable values. Below is a query that will help you achieve that:

query variables($projectId: String!, $environmentId: String!, $pluginId: String, $serviceId: String) {
  variables: variables(
    projectId: $projectId
    environmentId: $environmentId
    pluginId: $pluginId
    serviceId: $serviceId
  )
  unrenderedVariables: variables(
    projectId: $projectId
    environmentId: $environmentId
    pluginId: $pluginId
    serviceId: $serviceId
    unrendered: true
  )
}

You'd then set your query variables as:

{
  "projectId": "<project_id>",
  "environmentId": "<env_id>",
  "serviceId": "<service_id>"
}

Hope this helps.

We'd still love to learn about your use case for using the unrendered reference variables.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your response. I’d like to display unrendered reference variables to users when they try to update variables from my website.
