getFootageInterpretation().frameRate is 2.75404699046078e-8 for sequences

[#1]

I'm developing a CEP extension for Adobe Premiere Pro and need to know the frame rate of a selected clip on the timeline.

I'm running:

app.project.activeSequence.getSelection()[0].projectItem.getFootageInterpretation().frameRate

which returns correctly e.g. 23.976023976024 for regular video clips.

But if the selection is a nested sequence then it will return a super small number: 2.75404699046078e-8

How to get around this?

Hadn't heard of that issue. 

You can use projectItem.isSequence() to check for sequences, and use the sequence object's getSettings() method to get the frame rate.
