Hi, another probably silly question. I would like to be able to access the outputs from an already executed task programmatically. I was expecting an API that I could list the executions (I could do this using

flytekit.remote.FlyteRemote.recent_executions

) and then choose an execution, and get/download the output of a particular task in that workflow. What is the recommended way?

This should be possible

Yes, I want to be able to inspect artifacts from runs, without having to go to the UI and figure out what files to download manually. Which API should I be looking for this functionality?

@colossal-waitress-79394, please take a look at this section of the docs: https://docs.flyte.org/projects/flytekit/en/latest/design/control_plane.html#retrieving-inspecting-executions.

Ok, managed to move a bit forward. Had to execute

remote.sync_execution(execution, sync_nodes = True)

in order to be able to get the task input and outputs. I ran into other problem. I get the node execution (

node_execution = execution.node_executions['n3']

) and then, if I get the output using

node_execution.outputs['o0']

then output is

StructuredDataset(uri=None, file_format='parquet')

. To get the actual uri, then I have to use

node_execution.outputs.data['o0'].value.structured_dataset.uri

which returns

<s3://my-s3-bucket/data/ow/f2d443d3adb604c94869-n3-0/26f65254ebd42579e5f67433d38efc01>

. This does not look right, it seems like I am not using the right API. At least, I can then load the data from this URI using boto.

Can you send

type_hints

? If your structured dataset is a pandas dataframe, you can send

pandas.DataFrame

. https://discuss.flyte.org/t/10466387/attributeerror-when-fetching-inputs-from-node-execution-for-#c048724e-aab5-403f-84ac-1b5b842b6b44

Oh, it worked by using

node_execution.inputs.get('param_name', as_type=pd.DataFrame)

Nice! thanks Samhita, really appreciate it!
