Retrieve Blueprint Rendered Contents

You can retrieve the contents of the Blueprint build composition at any time using the contents property. This property will give you a very large dictionary of data organized in a way that is specific to the design Template. The following is a short snippet of content values for the “links” area:

# each time you access the contents property the library will do a new GET.
# so make a variable so we only do a single GET for this example.

>>> contents = blueprint.contents

# examine a list of all the items in the contents

>>> print json.dumps(contents.keys(), indent=2)
[
  "display_name",
  "reference_architecture",
  "service",
  "created_at",
  "custom_extension",
  "system",
  "last_modified_at",
  "intent",
  "tenant_connectivity",
  "external_endpoints",
  "id",
  "constraints"
]

# access the system links contents.  There are 23 links in this Blueprint

>>> links = contents['system']['links']
>>> len(links)
23

# now show the contents of one of the links

>>> print json.dumps(links[0], indent=2)
