Can I download one file?

Yes. Use --nodes to pick the node and --files to name the specific files so you fetch only the data you need.

Which runs can it pull?

A specific run with --run, the latest N with --runs, or every run with --all.

How is this different from trickest-execute?

Execute starts a new run and can download when that run finishes. trickest-output reaches into existing runs with --run, --runs, or --all without launching anything new.

Can a config file drive what gets downloaded?

Yes. Point --config at a YAML file that lists which node outputs to fetch so repeatable pulls stay consistent.

Download outputs from finished Trickest workflow runs.

Pull results from a finished run Scope the download to specific nodes Fetch a batch of recent runs

overview

What trickest-output does

trickest-output downloads results from workflow runs that already finished. Reference the workflow with --url or --workflow, then scope with --nodes, --files, --run, --runs, or --all.

It does not launch jobs. Where trickest-execute starts a run, this node reaches into past executions so reporting or another pipeline can consume the files without replaying the graph.

Keep downloads small with --nodes and --files. Point --config at a YAML file when the same node set should be pulled every time.

use cases

Where trickest-output fits

Pull results from a finished run

Reference a workflow and download the output of its latest run, so a completed execution's findings reach disk without launching a new one.

Scope the download to specific nodes

Name the nodes and files you care about so a large workflow's output collapses to the data the next system consumes.

Fetch a batch of recent runs

Set the number of recent runs, or download all of them, to assemble a history of outputs for trend reporting or diffing.

Feed results into reporting

Download named files from a scanning node and hand them to a reporting or alerting stage downstream, all inside one pipeline.

guidance

Choosing trickest-output

Use when a workflow has already run and you only need its results. Prefer trickest-execute when you must start a fresh run first. Scope with --nodes and --files to keep the download small.

trickest-execute

Starts a new run. Use it when you need to execute; use trickest-output for runs that already finished.

trickest-cli

Full CLI this node wraps. Use it directly for managing workflows and runs beyond downloading output.

faq

trickest-output questions

No. It downloads output from runs that already happened. To launch a run, use trickest-execute.

Run trickest-output yourself

A workflow reference feeds trickest-output, which downloads the selected run's data and writes it as a folder for downstream use.
