Example request

GET /_plugins/_flow_framework/workflow/8xL8bowB8y25Tqfenm50

{% include copy-curl.html %}

Example response

To retrieve a template in YAML format, specify Content-Type: application/yaml in the request header:

curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_plugins/_flow_framework/workflow/8xL8bowB8y25Tqfenm50" -H 'Content-Type: application/yaml'

To retrieve a template in JSON format, specify Content-Type: application/json in the request header:

curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_plugins/_flow_framework/workflow/8xL8bowB8y25Tqfenm50" -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

OpenSearch responds with the stored template containing the same content as the body of the create workflow request. The order of fields in the returned template may not exactly match the original template but will function identically.
