I don't think that is exposed in the REST api. In the Java API, you can inspect the process definition through the org.activiti.bpmn.model.BpmnModel getBpmnModel(String processDefinitionId) method on RepositoryService.

Note that this is not a BPMN 2.0 best practice. The best practice is to have a variable (set when clicking one of the buttons) here and let the task be followed by an exclusive gateway.

Yes, this is my case. I can't attach a .png to show you my diagram (only .txt can be added ??), but several times, after a task I have an exclusive gateway permitting to go to a particular way, according to the value tested by the "flow Condition". So, what I would like is, when I am at the first task before the gateway, to have the different names of all the possible sequenceFlows.

Why would you want the names? Isn't it easier to have a button 'A', 'B' and 'C', and then in the gateway do a '${buttonValue == 'A'}'?
