My bad, I was on my phone and I didn't see the full image on my phone and I thought you were after project variables. Here you go. Given these recipe variables:

{
   "var1": 1,
   "var2": "Some New Text",
   "var3": true
}

import dataiku
client_handle = dataiku.api_client()
project_handle = client_handle.get_project('PROJECT_KEY')
recipe_handle = project_handle.get_recipe('recipe_name')
recipe_settings = recipe_handle.get_settings()
recipe_definition = recipe_settings.get_recipe_raw_definition()
for variable in recipe_definition['variables']:
    print(variable + ' Value: ' + str(recipe_definition['variables'][variable]))

Gives me:

var1 Value: 1
var2 Value: Some Text
var3 Value: True

Then changing it:

recipe_handle = project_handle.get_recipe('compute_customers_out')
recipe_settings = recipe_handle.get_settings()
recipe_definition = recipe_settings.get_recipe_raw_definition()
recipe_definition['variables']['var2'] = "Some New Text"
recipe_settings.save()
for variable in recipe_definition['variables']:
    print(variable + ' Value: ' + str(recipe_definition['variables'][variable]))

Output:

var1 Value: 1
var2 Value: Some New Text
var3 Value: True

Hi @Turribeach
,

You cannot use `get_custom_variables`, did you mean something else in the link you sent?

Very close, but on DSS 11 I get this error:

You forgot to change the recipe name on the second recipe_handle assignment. The first 3 lines on the save part are redundant if you are already reading the values. But I included them in case you just wanted to save a variable.

Personally I think it's a bug since the Dataiku API is not returning any errors on "project_handle.get_recipe('unknown_recipe')". But if you run "recipe_handle.get_status()" you will get the expected exception:

DataikuException: com.dataiku.dip.server.controllers.NotFoundException: recipe does not exist: TEST_PROJECT.dummy_recipe
