    Hi Vidhyut,

     

    You can use this method to get a "Settings" object:

    /restapi/vc/settings

     

    From there, you can use the "name/name" method to get the value of a specific community setting. For example, to get the SSO Login URL:

    /restapi/vc/settings/name/community.signon_url

     

    There are other "settings" methods you can use to get a "Settings" object for nodes (categories, boards, etc) or even a user.

     

    I hope this helps!
