Is it possible to retrieve the published parameters set against a workspace within an automation, via the Rest API (v4) or another way?
I’ve had a quick look at the FME Flow REST API V4 endpoints but cannot see anything obvious.

Found it:
$(FME_SERVER_WEB_URL)/fmeapiv4/automations/<automation id>/components
This endpoint returns all the components (triggers, actions, etc) of a given automation, as well as their individual settings, including workspace parameters.
Example:
json["nodes"][*]["parameters"]

It seems undocumented, but try:
http://<hostname>/fmerest/v3/automations/workflows/<automation id>/components
Tested with FME 2024.2.3 and it seems to return all the details of the automation. For the published parameters, be prepared for FME-specific tag encodings like “<space><opencurly>” etc.

Thanks, I was specifically looking for a V4 option as we’re on 2025.1 and the v3 rest api is in its deprecation phase
I can get the workspaces that participate in an automation via
$(FME_SERVER_WEB_URL)/fmeapiv4/dependencies?id=<automation id>&type=automation
but this doesn’t give any information about parameters
I found this undocumented API by using the network tab of the browser developer tools. I suspect that you’ll be able to find the corresponding V4 endpoint by activing the network tab before opening an automation and scrolling through the requests made to the backend.
