creating shape from text and get the path

Hi.

This is rather extensive example, but I think it should get you covered. Cheers.

app.beginUndoGroup("whatever");
var comp = app.project.items.addComp('test', 1920, 1080, 1, 30, 25);
  comp.openInViewer();
var textLayer = comp.layers.addText('CA');
  textLayer.selected = true; // Make sure Text Layer is selected
  app.executeCommand(3781); // Execute command "Create Shapes from Text"
  textLayer.remove() // Removes old text layer
var shapeLayer = comp.selectedLayers[0]; // Store shape layer to variable
var allPaths = getAllPaths(shapeLayer, []); // Collect all Path properties to array;
for (var i = 0, il = allPaths.length; i < il; i ++) {
  var currentPathProperty = allPaths;
  var pathValue = currentPathProperty.value;
  var vertices = pathValue.vertices; // Returns Vertives of the shape
  var inTangents = pathValue.inTangents; // Returns inTangens of the shape
  var outTangents = pathValue.inTangents; // Returns outTangents of the shape
}
app.endUndoGroup();
function getAllPaths(currentProperty, propsArray){
  for (var i = 1, il = currentProperty.numProperties; i <= il; i++) {
  if (currentProperty.property(i).matchName === "ADBE Vector Shape")
  propsArray.push(currentProperty.property(i));
  getAllPaths(currentProperty.property(i), propsArray);
  }
  return propsArray
}
