I'd like to grab start and end frames from the alembic SOP as attributes, I can see it in the node info but I'm not sure how to access those values directly, any tips? Thanks!

I was looking for the same thing and this is working for me in python:

node = hou.node('/obj/geo1/alembic1')
tree = node.infoTree()
branches = tree.branches()

info = "Alembic SOP Info"

if info in branches :
    rows = branches[info].rows()
    start = ""
    end = ""
    
    for row in rows :
        if row[0] == "Start Frame" :
            start = row[1]
        if row[0] == "End Frame" :
            end = row[1]
    
    if start != "" and end != "" :
        print (start + " - " + end)
else :
    print "No info available."

It would be nice if this was added as detail attributes on the alembic import node.

The Alembic HOM Extensions provide access to the range of time samples in the Alembic archive. You can convert these to frame values if needed.

import _alembic_hom_extensions as ahe
start_time, end_time = ahe.alembicTimeRange(filename)
