# Pull Workflow

GET https://predict.vellum.ai/v1/workflows/{id}/pull

Used to pull the definition of a Workflow from Vellum. Returns a zip archive of the Workflow's code by default, or a flattened plain-text representation if the Accept header is set to 'text/plain'.

Reference: https://docs.vellum.ai/developers/client-sdk/workflows/pull

## Authentication

- `X-API-KEY` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — The ID or name of the Workflow Deployment, or the ID of the Workflow Sandbox, to pull from.

### Query parameters

- `exclude_code` (boolean, optional) — If true, omit the Workflow's code from the response.
- `exclude_display` (boolean, optional) — If true, omit UI display metadata files when pulling from a Workflow Sandbox.
- `include_json` (boolean, optional) — If true, include a JSON representation of the Workflow's definition alongside its code.
- `include_sandbox` (boolean, optional) — If true, include the Workflow Sandbox's scenarios as sandbox inputs when pulling from a Workflow Sandbox.
- `release_tag` (string, optional) — Release tag to use when pulling from deployment (implies deployment-only lookup)
- `strict` (boolean, optional) — If true, fail on any code generation error instead of returning best-effort code.
- `version` (string, optional) — Semantic version range to validate against the Workflow SDK version (e.g., '>=1.0.0,\<1.2.3')

## Errors
