Hi @tomaslindberg,
The best way to do that would be to use the REST API of FME Server. Have a look at it via the Help menu > REST API or
http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/v2/apidoc/index.html#!/repositories and have a look at the repositories > retrieve item end point.
Hope this helps
@itay is right, the REST API is the way to do it. I've attached a prototype workspace that uses v3 API to iterate over all the repositories and that downloads all the contents into subdirectories named after the repository.
Make sure to set the 3 published parameters before running, in particular the FME Server token id.
Requires FME Desktop / Server 2017.0 or newer.
ws-downloader.fmwt
Thanks @itay and @david_r
I have FME Desktop/Server 2015.1 so I can't look at your workspace at the moment and the REST API is new to me (not a developer), but I will have a look into it (and maybe get some help from IT).
Thanks @itay and @david_r

Hi @tomaslindberg,
I have converted the workspace provided by @david_r to a 2015 version and added some functionality.
downloadws2015.fmw
Good luck!

Thanks a lot for your effort
@ijay!
The workspace runs through and correctly produces folders and all the workspace files. However, the files only contain a single row with the folder path
"c:\\temp\\ws_downloader\\GDWJKAR"
FME(R) 2015.1.1.0 (20150715 - Build 15515 - WIN64)
FME Server 2015.1.2 - Build 15538 - win64
looks like the the name of the ws is not generated properly, can you place some loggers in the ws and attach them here?

This is the logger attached to the end of the workflow, hope it helps?
Something strange with the source attribut? Just the value of the attribute i written to the file.
The filenames of the created files are correct
Ha! apparently the download doesn't work properly, I have adjusted the ws.

downloadws2015v2.fmw
Impressed @itay ! It works, kind of:-)
When running
downloadws2015v2.fmw with a fresh output path, it could not create the folders and files in the output location (see attached log-file).
If I first ran the first version
downloadws2015.fmw , folders and files were created (but with no real content). Running
downloadws2015v2.fmw again with the same output path as used with
downloadws2015.fmw, workspaces were downloaded into the existing folders (see attached log-file). So running them after one another does the trick!
I got 16 rejects were 6 of them were workspaces in our production repositories, the other ten were from the Samples and Utilities repositories. When I investigated my 6 rejects some of them were probably due to Swedish characters å,ä,ö, which I replaced and managed to download. The others seemed "corrupt" in some other way (to old versions probably, could not download them in FME Workbench either.
So all in all you have solved my problem, many thanks!
I'm sure more users would love this...

Glad I could (eventually) help
