How to get the value for playback in and out point in Natron with python?

We have this:
https://natron.readthedocs.io/en/rb-2.3/devel/PythonReference/NatronEngine/App.html?highlight=timeline#NatronEngine.NatronEngine.App.timelineGetLeftBound

But I need the red range of the timeline where it will loop (playback in and out point).

Thanks in advance.

Thanks man. Here is the code for reference:

app=app1
pane1 = app.getViewer("Viewer1")
range= pane1.getFrameRange()
print (range) # Tuple Range
print (range[0]) #First frame in range
print (range[1]) #Last frame in range

Gotcha:
To get a PyViewer , use the getViewer(scriptName) function, passing it the script-name of a viewer node.

If you were to use this piece of code in a python tool, you would have to tweak it a bit.
’ app =app1’ is useless for example.
Plus, you don’t know what the viewer’s name would be.
So you’d better use the ‘getPluginID()’ function.
