Does anyone know how to get the wobj definition from the REST API? More precisely: what REST URL gives me the x,y,z,q1,q2,q3,q4 values of a certain wobj that is loaded in the controller? Scenario: -I load a RAPID program with a wobj: ‘WobjTable’ for example -I adjust this wobj with the flexpendant and the 3 point method -Now I would like to retreive this new wobj definition from the Robot Web Services REST API I was looking under ```auto /rw/rapid/ ``` but couldn’t find it there so far.. ---

Ok, apparently there is no function to do this directly, however you can get it by searching through the module text: First loop over all modules: ```auto /rw/rapid/modules?task=T_ROB1 ``` then search for the wobjdata definitions: ```auto /rw/rapid/modules/PUT_MODULENAME_HERE?task=T_ROB1&startrow=0&startcol=0&text=wobjdata ``` then with the results you can get the actual text where the wobj is defined: ```auto /rw/rapid/modules/PUT_MODULENAME_HERE?task=T_ROB1&startrow=PUT_RESULTS_HERE&startcol=PUT_RESULTS_HERE&endrow=PUT_RESULTS_HERE&endcol=PUT_RESULTS_HERE ```
