Node parent	findparent	( string name )	Find the first parent Node of this Node of a specific class
Node result	getchild	( string name )	Get a child node by its name
[string|number] name	getname	( )	Get the Node name in its parent
Node parent	getparent	( )	Get the parent Node of this Node

{ShaderNodeIn} connected getconnected ( )

get the connected shader node inputs

This method returns the shader node input plugs connected to this plug. This method returns a list of iputs, as several inputs can be connected to this output.

-- enumerate all input connections
for output in children (Document, "ShaderNodeOut", nil, true) do
    local connected = output:getconnected ()
    if connected then
        for k, input in pairs (connected) do
            print (output:getpath () .. " --> " .. input:getpath ())
        end
    end
end


Return:

• connected the plugs connected to this output
