Is there a way to fetch a tracker via the Rasa python client? We’re trying to access the tracker in our custom channel connector to do some conditional branching on whether a form is active or not.

An option is to query the API directly, but was wondering if there is a way to do it from within the the Rasa python client.

Hi @moaazsidat, do you mean accessing all of the tracker values? Did you try to store it to the database(ex: MongoTrackerStore)? Also can you attach the code for creating the Rasa python client?(how you load the models, nlu interpreter)

Cheers

Yep, we are using a persistent tracker store, regardless of that, there doesn’t seem to be a _straightforward_ way of querying the tracker store in a **custom channel connector**

We have two apparent choices:

1. make a request to the rasa core api to fetch the tracker store

2. use the Sanic app and rasa’s internal api to query the tracker store inside the blueprint route

@moaazsidat What did you end up doing? I have same issue.
