EKOS Polar Alignment Assistant, getting polar alignment error data

Is it possible to get the altitude and azimuth polar alignment error data from Ekos so I can use it to control the motorized polar alignment of my Avalon M-Zero OBS mount? I have built the hardware and software to make it work with a simple NSEW keypad when close to the mount but I would like to control it by software, either python script or Indi driver, remotely and, ideally, automatically.

Thanks for any help and insight.

I don't believe there's an API currently to get the error programmatically, though you can read it off the
screen when the polar alignment has completed its error calculations.
See the first screenshot in indilib.org/forum/general/8602-new-polar...-features.html#65724

Thanks for your reply. I would have hoped that the data was accessible without human intervention but, as PA is done once every "once in a while occasion" or whenever the mount is moved to a new location, transcribing it for the PAA screen to my application won't be a major issue.

Thanks also for the great work you do on PAA and SEP Multistar guiding, they are much appreciated.
