Is there a way to use a manager to get records from all sites?

I have a question, is there a way to get items from all sites? For example how could I get all the attributes or attributes from specific sites. Do I need to use sql since managers require a context and will only retrieve data specific to that site/that tree of sites?

The records of the sites are strictly separated and by using the managers, you can only get records from other sites by using the correct locale in the context item. The marketplace / complex B2B extension of the Aimeos company extends that so you can build a tree structure of sites and get records from parent or child sites too.

What is your setup of sites (SaaS or marketplace) and which items do you want to fetch for which reasons?

I have multiple aimeos multisite setups on different servers and an application that wants to get specific data from all of them, I just was thinking there was an easier way than switching contexts or running sqls but yea seems like sql is the choice here.
Wanted to basically run a laravel job that sends the data in specific conditions.

In that case, you need to use SQL statements to get the data as the managers won't allow you to fetch items across unrelated sites.
