Hi team,

we have one method in admin API is getFlows which return all the flows in json format but i want to get all the flows with nodes used in it in single request. Is it possible?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

The `/flows` API returns the complete configuration.

I'm not clear how that is different from:

> get all the flows with nodes used in it in single request.

Hello Knolleary,  
/flows returns configuration of all the flows available without node information used in each flow. to get node detail of each flow i have to call /flow:id method of admin API which i don't want.

is there any way, i can get detail of nodes used in each flow in single request?

Hope you understand my concern.  
BR,

Just to answer the question for future visitors to this topic:

Within the list of nodes are nodes of type `tab` these are the tabs/flows in the editor. They all have a unique `id`.

All other nodes have a `z` property. This identifies the `id` of the flow the node is on.
