Hello everyone
Apologies if this is a naive question. Is there a document somewhere that gives the keys for a workflow dict?
Thanks in advance
Alan
What do you mean by workflow dict?
Are you referring to a collection? or the dict you submit to the api to invoke a workflow?
When you save out a .ga workflow, it is a JSON document. Is there a definition of the keys for the document? Ideally I’d like a JSON schema, but just a list of “a_galaxy_workflow”, “annotation” … “version” would be great.
I actually have an issue open about this: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/8349
You can piece some of the picture together looking at relevant sections of the bioblend documentation.
Another source is running a downloaded workflow through this command jq -S < [input file path] > [output file path]
Another place to get information is to open the browser inspect window to the network page, invoke a workflow, and then look for the network request and copy the payload. Run that payload through the above command.
Otherwise you are left to parsing through the Galaxy source code.

Thanks for the quick answer. I had been looking at the bioblend documentation etc. as you suggest, but hoped that there was a better way to get the information.
I might try using tools that generate schemas from examples and run them with example Galaxy workflows.
That would be great! Can you share your results?
