No, all through the API. If you can add any free variable and retrieve it at will you can use the variables to store all kinds of information. Configurations, community strings, etc...

I've been able to add free variables to things like Hosts and Services via the API, but not sure how to get those free variables back out via the API. Suggestions?

Feature request #12420 was created for this. Right now the api will not return free variables.

Where can I track this request? I can't seem to find your feature/bug database.
