Hey guys, is there a way to get all “workflow ids” in a project using the api ?
I found a way to get a workflow’s detail using the workflow id but I need to list workflow ids.
That would really help, thanks 
I’m building an autodoc to create automatic documentation for all my workflows and also a global error handler that creates tickets when there is an error with a fix suggestion.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks
Unfortunately I don’t believe there’s a public API for that right now. The use case makes sense, just doesn’t exist currently.
As a workaround you could inspect response in the network tools when you load the project and extract the workflow IDs
Posted thread to Discourse: How to Retrieve All Workflow IDs in a Project Using an API for Autodoc and Error Handling Purposes?
Thanks Andrew it is a smart move
It worked great I was able to list the projects and workflows for my account.
To the list of projects I have used my browser’s cookies but I cannot expect the end user to give their cookies.
Do you know any way I could do the same for my users ?
My users provide me their api keys only.
Do you have any idea how to achieve this ?
What are you trying to get from your users?
Hi Andrew, currently I can analyse the workflows of my users using the pipedream platform api:
https://api.pipedream.com/v1/workflows/p_abc123?org_id=o_abc123
That works great.
The issue is that I need a way to list the workflows and projects.
I was able to do it programmatically for me using cookies from my browser and replicate the api call that is made in the pipedream dashboard, however I cannot do this for my users.
To summarize I need to list workflows and projects.
This is the doc I’m using: Get a Workflow’s details - Pipedream
Definitely looks like a big workaround, I’m not aware of any others
Isham, what’s the core use case? Are your customers building their own workflows? What is the relationship between you and them? Are you a member of their workspace?
Hi , I’m not a member of their workspace no. I created a tool that generates project documentation for make.com it works well and safes me hours on documentation.
I would like to integrate pipedream into that app and for this I need to be able to list projects and workflows.
The only thing I was able to do using the pipedream api is to get the details of the workflow.
I know a lot of colleagues and friends you have 10+ workflows in a project and do not comment or document them and the project because unmaintainable and hard to understand for the product people. Since I used my documentation tool it is way easier for the product team to have a great understand of the workflows in place.
@U05FUC30Q01 I would really love to get your insight, I really want to bring this solution to my team and other teams of passionate developers. We were able to develop it for make.com but we are pipedream lovers and most of our complex flows are in pipedream and we would love to do this
The main use case is to develop documentation like the above, for Pipedream? And you can your docs to be able to access your customers’ separate Pipedream workspaces?
In the make.com there are many routes of self introspection which is quite useful for listing workflows, ect…
Ideally I would like to list the projects of the user but I understand that the route doesn’t exists so it is not possible at the moment. There is a smart workaround that Andrew suggested, however it will not work for my end users who cannot share their cookies.
It would be amazing if we could list the workflows of the user using the api, I added a screenshot of the routes and it would be a great addition to the existing routes. It would definitely do the trick for me and my team.
The route https://api.pipedream.com/v1/workflows is not defined at the moment
Right, I understand what you’re asking for, I’m trying to understand the core use case of what you’re building.
My team and I, have a lot of different pipedream projects to manage. Each projects contains on average 6 to 10 workflows. We have to keep each project documented and up to date and currently it is taking too much time. We also work with another agency that faces the same problem, so we decided that we were going to build a tool for automating our documentation process for low code apps. We started with make which worked great. However we use make for our simplest automation that don’t really require documentation.
Ideally we would like to have all our projects documentated automatically across all our platforms (pipedream, make and a bit of n8n)
I tried to explain the best I can, I hope I was able to make sense of it
Got it, thanks for the info. I think the real answer is that we don’t have real support for what you’re trying to do right now.
