Programmatically access data about my Anvil apps

Holy smokes! I haven’t seen this documented anywhere, so I suppose it’s subject to change without notice. I would also expect that this only works after you successfully log in as an Anvil user. Even so…

I tried the 1st link, got a JSON listing of all of my apps! That’s incredibly helpful.

I wasn’t sure how to use the 2nd link. But if you append the app’s “id” (from the 1st link) immediately after the trailing “/”, the response is a copy of the corresponding app as a .yaml file. In a browser, it begins downloading immediately.

This is something we can automate and build on. Thank you, indeed, @stefano.menci !
