Per @pflaumingo's recommendation, you can generally grab and set values in an OpenStudio object using the getString(index) and setString(index, string) functions where index is the index of the parameter for the object you're interested in.
E.g. let's say I wanted the handle for the inlet port of the following Node object:
OS:Node,
{9e27287a-144b-4341-9ff2-f6d7bcc4c37f}, !- Handle
Node 8, !- Name
{f2293c91-c542-4f27-8bd9-fff7fc4967b2}, !- Inlet Port <----THIS ONE
{969fbfbf-fd2a-4397-afec-6d19fc376ed8}; !- Outlet Port
Let's say I grabbed the node and named the object my_node, you'd want to do my_node.getString(2) as the inlet port is the 2nd parameter (remember the indexing starts at 0).
