Getting this without ingame lua possible?

1)
I need the current artifact knowledge rank for fixing some log output.

Code:

C_ArtifactUI.GetArtifactKnowledgeLevel()
C_ArtifactUI.GetArtifactKnowledgeMultiplier()

which is only returning something usefull when the artifact ui is open

2) recipes in legion can have ranks, using these fails if you do not know the previous rank.
Right now i am constructing a complicated method to get the spellid from the recipe item and then
using

Code:

C_TradeSkillUI.GetRecipeInfo

which again requires to open the tradeskill ui and caching the whole shit.

Does the game store the artifact knowledge somewhere in memory to grab it without opening the artifact ui and caching the result?

Is it possible to get the info if the previous rank for a certain recipe item in my bag has been learned in a more convenient way?
