We are unable to download the code from Google App Engine. We tried with the below command: appcfg.py download_app -A -V /destination --noauth_local_webserver
Error:
<ApiError 401, Message: "Rejected by creds_policy: Permission 'auth.creds.useNormalUserEUC' not granted to app-engine-server#prod.google.com, because it satisfies none of the 3 rules granting that permission.;
Any suggestions please
appcfg.py has been deprecated.
For possible alternatives on how to download your source code, see my responses here, here to similar Stackoverlow questions. You can also look at the responses from others on those questions.
Another possible solution to downloading your App is via the gsutil cp command but it has its own limitations/challenges as I explain in my response here (refer to bullet 3 in the response).

I have a set of data that I would like to use for production but I can't seem to get appcfg.py to download the localhost datastore. I have localhost:8080/_ah/remote_api on in app.yaml then, in the SDK shell, i ran
appcfg.py download_data --filename=local.db --url=http://localhost:8080/_ah/remote_api -A [MYAPPID]
I get this error message:
You must be logged in as an administrator to access this.
I can't find a way to authenticate my google account as the admin. any advice?
This is a general issue of remote_api admin authentication to the local development server, you may want to star it: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=12445. Several workaround suggestions in there (YMMV according to other posts)
The most recent one (2 days old) looks promising:
Workaround for appcfg.py upload_data to local dev server,
"Refreshing due to a 401" issue. Tested using Java dev server 1.9.42:
Log into the local dev server Development Console in a browser.
Open your browser's dev tools and pull the value for the dev_appserver_login cookie.
Edit lib/oauth2client/oauth2client/client.py in the app.
Find "def new_request" function. Before line self.apply(headers) in this function, add:
headers['Cookie'] = 'dev_appserver_login=your-cookie-value-here';
Run the upload_data command.
There's also this recipe, successful at the time, but it might be a bit old now:
appcfg.py shows You must be logged in as an administrator
I'm an owner on a project and I would like to pull down the war on GAE. Through Cygwin, when I try to do this:
./appengine-java-sdk/bin/appcfg.sh download_app -A sampleapp -V
I get the following error:
Error: Could not find or load main class com.google.appengine.tools.admin.AppCfg
I suspect that this might be because I am behind a corporate firewall, but I have already configured my cygwin to reroute through a proxy.
Does anyone have other suggestions as to what might be the cause?
This worked out for me.
sh appcfg.sh vacuum_indexes /ProjectPath/war
I could see in lot of document that the appcfg.cmd should be used but that didn't work but the above one looked good.
I saw this link - App engine CPU times when downloading logs that refers to a question about how to get the performance information when downloading logs from google app engine with --include_all option.
I've tried it with the Java command line options and read the documetnation and it is not mentioned there at all!
How can I get the performance infromation such as cpu time when I download the logs from app engine?
The command I'm currently using (it works) is:
appcfg.cmd --num_days=3 --severity=0 request_logs . logs.txt
In the admin dashboard you can see this information:
"<my_app_name>.appspot.com" ms=13 cpu_ms=0 api_cpu_ms=0 cpm_usd=0.000102
I want to be able to get this information in the logs as well.
thanks,
Li
The Java version of appcfg doesn't currently support that flag. You can create an app.yaml and use the Python version of the SDK to download the logs, though.
I have GWT app, which is deployed on GAE (Java). I'm trying to download data from App Engine datastore using appcfg.py . I did all the setup according to http://ikaisays.com/2010/06/10/using-the-bulkloader-with-java-app-engine/ .
GAE Python SDK version is 1.4.3
Python version is 2.5.4
appcfg.py is on my PATH. When I run appcfg.py on the command-line, I get the "help" message. But the problem is that no matter which command I use, it always returns the help message. I have not been able to run any command using appcfg.py.
It doesn't give any specific error message no matter what arguments I give. My app is using Google Accounts authentication, but I don't think it even gets to the point of authentication.
I'm able to use the Java appcfg (for other actions like rollback) without any problem. But the Python version simply refuses to work for all commands.
I've tried different formats like:
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api --application=myappid --filename=config.yml
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api
appcfg.py --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api create_bulkloader_config
All give me the same help message:
Usage: appcfg.py [options]
Action must be one of:
create_bulkloader_config: Create a bulkloader.yaml from a running application.
cron_info: Display information about cron jobs.
download_app: Download a previously-uploaded app.
download_data: Download entities from datastore.
help: Print help for a specific action.
request_logs: Write request logs in Apache common log format.
rollback: Rollback an in-progress update.
set_default_version: Set the default (serving) version.
update: Create or update an app version.
update_cron: Update application cron definitions.
update_dos: Update application dos definitions.
update_indexes: Update application indexes.
update_queues: Update application task queue definitions.
upload_data: Upload data records to datastore.
vacuum_indexes: Delete unused indexes from application.
Use 'help <action>' for a detailed description.
Options:
-h, --help Show the help message and exit.
-q, --quiet Print errors only.
-v, --verbose Print info level logs.
--noisy Print all logs.
-s SERVER, --server=SERVER
...
...
...
Even when I try "appcfg.py help create_bulkloader_config" for a detailed description, it still shows me the same standard help.
I have also tried on the local development server using the url http://127.0.0.1:8888/remote_api but it still gives the same help message.
I'm totally clueless as to what the problem is. I'm new to GWT and GAE, and any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
The following fix worked for me. It looks like appcfg.py doesn't like PYTHON27 and ALWAYS returns the help menu. I fixed it by executing it with PYTHON25 and hard coded all my file locations:
C:\Python25-archive\python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" rollback C:\scripts\myapp
The right way is to change the environment variables on Windows 7:
Go to System Properties
Go to Advance System Settings
Click on Environment Variables
Append to Path variable the values C:\Python27\
Click Ok and restart your computer. (Yes, it is needed.)
Another way is to:
Open command Prompt
Locate your python.exe file. For example:
C:\Python27>_
Then, run a python command that looks like this.
python <appcfg_directory> download_app -A <your_app_id> -V <your_app_version> <output-dir>
Where <appcfg_directory> is equal to C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py. (Depending on your file location)
Don't forget to put quotes before and after <appcfg_directory>
I need to download the application files that are deployed using command prompt into google appengine server.
if anybody know about this plz tell me!
thanks in advance!
SDK 1.4.0 has this sort of feature (Python only):
The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's
code using the appcfg.py
download_app command. This feature can
be disabled on a per application
basis in the admin console, under the
'Permissions' tab. Once disabled,
code download for the application
CANNOT be re-enabled.
Note that although the 'download_app' command is only available in the Python SDK, it can be used to download Java applications from App Engine. If you have a Java app that you want to download, just do:
Install Python (version 2.x only), if necessary.
Install App Engine 1.4.0 (or higher), Python version.
Run the python download_app command as described in the documentation, like appcfg.py download_app -A <your app name> -V <version to download> <path to download to>.
Your Java app will download. Hooray!
It's not possible to download your code from App Engine, unless you included code to support it when you uploaded your app. You can download static files by simply fetching them, of course.
To achieve this, you need to use a source control system, such as SVN or Git, and store/retrieve your code from there - App Engine isn't intended to act as source control.
You can use appcfg.sh / appcfg.cmd in your GAE SDK, as pointed out in this official guide.
But notice that as of 2012-05-07, at least for the Windows version appcfg.cmd, the command's syntax is
appcfg -A yourappid -V yourversionnumber download_app c:\path\to\download\directory
Also notice that when you run this command and you get asked for your password and you happen to have activated Google's 2-step verification, you must not provide your Google password, but instead must provide an application-specific password (which you can generate on this side)
As explained in this post: http://www.labnol.org/software/download-appengine-files/19348/
App Engine 1.5.0 introduced the feature to download your source code.
The command is:
appcfg.py download_app –A MyAppName -V 1 c:\AppEngine\SourceCode
You can use appcfg.py with download_data option, see docs.
You can download an application's source code by running appcfg.py with the download_app action in the Python SDK command-line tool:
appcfg.py download_app -A <your_app_id> -V <your_app_version> <output-dir>
