You can find many relevant geometry entities with the script below. Each has their own properties like Face.Area or Body.Volume

Verts=[]
for Assembly in ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData.Assemblies:
    for Part in Assembly.Parts:
        for Body in Part.Bodies:
            for Face in Body.Faces:
                for Edge in Face.Edges:
                    for Vertex in Edge.Vertices:
                        Verts.append(Vertex)
print len(Verts)

    small correction use AllParts instead of Parts

    in case of some geometries there are sub assemblies, that means Assembly can have more Assemblies, and in that case the above code would fail because the Assembly.Parts would return an empty list

    but with AllParts it should return all available Parts in geometry

    Verts=[]
for Assembly in ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData.Assemblies:
    for Part in Assembly.AllParts:
        for Body in Part.Bodies:
            for Face in Body.Faces:
                for Edge in Face.Edges:
                    for Vertex in Edge.Vertices:
                        Verts.append(Vertex)
print len(Verts)
