Python API call to download driver (resource/service)
I see API call to update the driver (UpdateResourceDriver(resourceFullPath, driverName), and I see no API call to download the driver, even that is possible from the Web UI. Did I miss it?
Use case: to create a script to frequently backup the drivers.
It is so easy to activate the PyCharm plugin and upload (overwrite) a wrong driver.

I would posit that the UpdateDriver API call is so that if your shells are managed in Source Control (eg a Git Repo) that automation can be attached to push updates into CloudShell.
Once they are added to CloudShell, they are stored in CloudShell's Database, so proper management of the CloudShell DB should already solve this for you.
And managing changes to the Shells is a source control issue.

Hi George,
Is the solution Kimo described a proper solution in your view?
George Rainovic commented · Jul 20, 2019 at 02:32 AM
Hi Ariel,
Restoring driver from DB backup is possible, but that operation is not quick.
BTW I could not find Python API call to get name of the current driver on the resource (gen1)/service.

Hi Ariel,
To answer your question, it is a partial answer to the problem I am trying to solve.
Can we have API call to get info about the driver, and call to download it?
Those actions are possible today in Web UI.
