Utilities
Pull a workflow node's results to disk
Deprecated. Downloaded Trickest workflow node outputs by id.
overview
What get-trickest-output does
get-trickest-output downloaded one workflow node's results to a local folder. Select the run with -wf and -wf_version, the producer with -node, and authenticate with -token or -config.
The library marks it deprecated. It does not track newer export paths, so new graphs should not wire it in. Keep this page for reading older workflows that still call it.
Trickest lists it as a legacy Utilities node. Prefer the maintained Trickest CLI or get-bucket-data for current exports. Add -all only when every matching run must land on disk, not just the latest.
use cases
Where get-trickest-output fits
Pull a workflow node's results to disk
Download the output files a specific node produced so you can grep, diff, or hand them to a local script. This is the core job the node did before the maintained CLI took it over.
Grab every run of a node, not only the latest
With -all, download the output of every matching run of a node rather than the single most recent one, which helps when comparing results across executions or auditing a pipeline's history.
Read a legacy workflow that references it
If an older workflow still wires in get-trickest-output, this page explains what the node did and what each input meant so you can follow the graph.
Migrate the download step to the Trickest CLI
Find where a workflow fetched outputs by node id, then swap that step for the maintained Trickest CLI or an export node before you re-run.

Choosing get-trickest-output
Do not use get-trickest-output in new work. It is deprecated; the Trickest CLI and platform export paths cover the same job. Open this page only to understand legacy workflows that still call it.
trickest-cli
Maintained CLI for running workflows and pulling outputs. Prefer this over the deprecated node.
get-bucket-data
Fetches stored data from a bucket when results already sit outside a node-id download.

Run get-trickest-output yourself
A node id feeds get-trickest-output, which downloads that node's results into a folder. The node is deprecated, so prefer the Trickest CLI for new workflows.
