The task's workspace produces it, woken when idle. Use this tool when you need to: - Take a task's work out of Aether without GitHub - Keep the files of a task in a project with no repository Examples: - GET /tasks/{taskID}/download Hints: - taskID is the task's uuid. The answer is application/zip, named by its Content-Disposition header, with the commit in X-Archive-Commit. - Uncommitted changes in the workspace are not in the zip, which is the branch's: X-Uncommitted-Changes is true when it left some out, and the agent commits them before a download that should carry them. - Use saveTaskRepository instead to give the work a GitHub repository. - Restricted to the task's creator or an admin or owner of its organization, through a web session, an API key or an agent host's grant, each acting as its user: another member is refused with 403 control_forbidden, a viewer or billing member with 403 org_role_insufficient, and a task the caller cannot see is 404. - Refused with 409 task_not_started for a task that has not run, 409 workspace_gone when its workspace is gone with the work, 409 task_has_no_files for a branch with no files yet, 409 task_branch_missing when the workspace no longer has the branch, 409 workspace_outdated when the workspace runs a version without downloads, which only a task bound to a repository can (its agent publishes the task's branch, and the work is taken from GitHub), and 503 when the workspace cannot be started. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json GET /tasks/{taskID}/download openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Aether API version: 0.1.0 servers: - url: https://api.runaether.dev security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /tasks/{taskID}/download: get: tags: - tasks summary: Download a task's work as a zip description: >- Streams the tree of the task branch's commit as a zip: its tracked files, under the repository's ignore rules, without the git history.
