Alteryx API Bulk Workflow Download Corrupting Files

Link86

Hello,

I am using the Alteryx API to download the workflows from our gallery to a local drive. There are about 141 workflows. 110 of them download and can be opened without issue. The remaining 31 are corrupting with an error message stating that the file is not a supported package type. I can confirm that the files are workflows and not macros or analytic app extensions. I am wondering if anyone could help solve this issue. The files are being downloaded with the macro that is found here. I am using the file extension 'yxzp' to bring in the workflows.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Link86 

 

Alteryx packages are just renamed pkZip files.  If you try to open them using a text editor like Notepad++, the first two characters in the file should be "PK", as in this snippet

If they're not, can you post a screen shot of the file in the text editor?
