I was trying to export all VectorNode properties via ExportSettingsREST, but vectorNetwork or vectorPaths are missing - it’s impossible to reproduce vector node in my app.

There is no bug here, because such properties do not exist in the REST API. Please see the developer documentation:
https://www.figma.com/developers/api#vector-props
Right, there are missing in REST API. So how can I export VectorNode data, like paths?
Plugin API:
Just get the desired node properties directly.
Plugin API in combination with ExportSettingsREST:
Get the ID of the desired node from JSON output, get the node by ID and get its properties.
REST API:
Add a geometry query parameter. For example: geometry=paths

Thanks for replay @tank666 !
It doesn’t resolve my issue. I need to be “file agnostic” (different nodes IDs). I send result of ExportSettingsREST to my backend, and I have to reproduce nodes in another file based on it.
If there is no native support I have to use custom solution, like you suggest

I, of course, do not know all the details of your case, but why can’t you send the received node properties (via getNodeById method) along with JSON REST output to your backend?
I have the same question 
vectorNetwork is not exists on Figma REST API for VECTOR type node

Same as pluginData for instance 
You need to find node and copy additional data on your own.
For example, aftre get data from ExportSettingsREST i traverse whole JSON with nodes, and add there additional data:
private static injectVectorPaths(json: Object, node: FrameNode): void {
if (!('findAllWithCriteria' in node)) return;
const vectors = node.findAllWithCriteria({
types: ['VECTOR'],
});
vectors.forEach((vector) => {
const { vectorPaths, strokeGeometry, id } = vector;
const path = this.findPathToId(json, id, []);
if (vectorPaths?.length) {
set(json, [...path, 'fillGeometry'], vectorPaths);
}
if (strokeGeometry?.length) {
set(json, [...path, 'strokeGeometry'], strokeGeometry);
}
});
}
Thanks a lot Adrian
I need to do something related to vectorPaths across files in my project and I am facing similar problems.
I hope this property will be added to the REST API.
