Export an app with the Fusion UI

In the app config window, click Export app to zip:

Export an app with the Objects API

The examples below show how to export one or more apps:

Export all apps

curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD http://localhost:6764/api/objects/export?type=app > all-apps.zip

Get all app IDs, then export one app by ID

> curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD http://localhost:6764/api/apps

[ {
  "id" : "movies",
  "name" : "Movies",
  "description" : "Search the movielens database.",
  "dataUri" : "/App-Tile-01-460x160.png",
  "properties" : {
    "headerImageName" : "headerImage1",
    "tileColor" : "apps-darkblue",
    "previousCollectionId" : "movies"
  }
}, {
  "id" : "tech-pubs",
  "name" : "TechPubs",
  "description" : "Search the documentation.",
  "dataUri" : "/App-Tile-02-460x160.png",
  "properties" : {
    "headerImageName" : "headerImage2",
    "tileColor" : "apps-darkblue",
    "previousCollectionId" : "tech-pubs"
  }
} ]

> curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD http://localhost:6764/api/objects/export?app.ids=tech-pubs > techpubs.zip

When you export an app that includes objects that are shared with other apps, then all apps linked to that object are also exported.

Export two apps by ID

curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD http://localhost:6764/api/objects/export?app.ids=tech-pubs,movies > two-apps.zip

For the app object type, the deep parameter is not used. Linked objects are always included when exporting apps.
