# Variables

This endpoint will retrieve the list of all the **variables** that are currently available in the bot specified by the bot [token](/connect-api/globa-platform-api/authorization.md). 

### Request

The following request will retrieve the list of all variables:

```bash
curl --location --request GET 'https://<NODE>.xenioo.com/bots/variables' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <BOT_AUTH_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```

### Response

If the bot doesn't have any variables, the **Result** array will be empty.

{
    "Result": [        
        {
            "Name": "bot_channel",
            "CategoryType": 0,

            "Name": "chat_state",
            "CategoryType": 0,
        }
    ]
}
```

The **CategoryType** value is mapped as follow:
