Not sure if it'll be immediately useful to you, but in 8.3 all of the script metadata that is used for autocomplete is available in a very consumable format: > **[PackageTreeNode](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition83/8.3.0-beta1/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/script/PackageTreeNode.html)** > > declaration: package: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script, record: PackageTreeNode You can obtain a `PackageTreeNode` from the local `ScriptManager`: [ScriptManager](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition83/8.3.0-beta1/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/script/ScriptManager.html#getHintsTree()) Which is available from any 'context' object: [CommonContext](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition83/8.3.0-beta1/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/model/CommonContext.html#getScriptManager()) You can also get the gateway's script hints from the designer using the built in RPC proxy: ```python from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.rpc import PlatformRpcInstances # don't print the whole object, it's going to be a very long line print str(PlatformRpcInstances.AUTOCOMPLETE_RPC.getHintsMap())[:100] ``` ---
