Downloading your project’s ingredients source code

To download a current list of the ingredients of your project you must:

1. Download and install the State Tool.
2. Authenticate your account using the state auth command.
3. Generate a JSON web token for your project by using the state export jwt command.
4. Use the GraphQL interface to send a query.
5. Use the query output to download your project’s ingredient source code into your working directory.

Using graphQL

Example query:

{
  project(org: "ActiveState", name: "ActivePython-3.8") {
    __typename
    ... on Project {
      name
      description
      commit {
        commit_id
        sources(limit: 500) {
          name
          url
        }
      }
    }
    ... on NotFound {
      message
    }
    }
}

After running this query, replacing the project name and org in the example with the information from your project, you will get an output on the right hand side of the screen similar to what’s shown below.

If you are calling the API directly via cURL or a script, the endpoint is https://platform.activestate.com/sv/mediator/api. For more information about GraphQL check here.

Downloading the ingredient list

To download any of the tar/zip files from the GraphQL output you can run the following command:

curl -v -L -O --header "Authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>" <FILE_URL>

Replace the <JWT TOKEN> with the JSON web token generated in step 3. Use the URL of the tar/zip file in the GraphQL output as the <FILE_URL> in the above curl command. This will download the requested file to your current working directory.
