Export a Package Example
GET /api/packages/{id} exports a package as a .zip file.
curl Command
The following command exports a package as a .zip file.
$curl --insecure -s -H "Accept: application/zip" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"
https://$vRA/content-management-service/api/packages/54f627bb-2277-48af-9fa0-7d7366b498f3-o package.zip
JSON Output
The export command returns a message that indicates whether or not the package was exported. A
successful export produces a package.zip exported to the specified location. The returned message is
'200 - Successes' with the Package or 404 - 'Not Found' if it does not find a package with
provided ID.
Input
The query URL for the export command must specify the ID of the package to export.

practice is to validate all packages before importing into to any system.
