# Viewing blueprints in AWS Glue
Viewing blueprints

View a blueprint to review the blueprint description, status, and parameter specifications, and to download the blueprint ZIP archive.

You can view a blueprint by using the AWS Glue console, AWS Glue API, or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

**To view a blueprint (console)**

1. Open the AWS Glue console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **blueprints**.

1. On the **blueprints** page, select a blueprint. Then on the **Actions** menu, choose **View**.

**To view a blueprint (AWS CLI)**
+ Enter the following command to view just the blueprint name, description, and status. Replace *<blueprint-name>* with the name of the blueprint to view.

  ```
  aws glue get-blueprint --name <blueprint-name>
  ```

  The command output looks something like the following.

  ```
  {
      "Blueprint": {
          "Name": "myDemoBP",
          "CreatedOn": 1587414516.92,
          "LastModifiedOn": 1587428838.671,
          "BlueprintLocation": "s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket1/demo/DemoBlueprintProject.zip",
          "Status": "ACTIVE"
      }
  }
  ```

  Enter the following command to also view the parameter specifications.

  ```
  aws glue get-blueprint --name <blueprint-name>  --include-parameter-spec
  ```

  The command output looks something like the following.

  ```
  {
      "Blueprint": {
          "Name": "myDemoBP",
          "CreatedOn": 1587414516.92,
          "LastModifiedOn": 1587428838.671,
          "ParameterSpec": "{\"WorkflowName\":{\"type\":\"String\",\"collection\":false,\"description\":null,\"defaultValue\":null,\"allowedValues\":null},\"PassRole\":{\"type\":\"String\",\"collection\":false,\"description\":null,\"defaultValue\":null,\"allowedValues\":null},\"DynamoDBTableName\":{\"type\":\"String\",\"collection\":false,\"description\":null,\"defaultValue\":null,\"allowedValues\":null},\"ScriptLocation\":{\"type\":\"String\",\"collection\":false,\"description\":null,\"defaultValue\":null,\"allowedValues\":null}}",
          "BlueprintLocation": "s3://awsexamplebucket1/demo/DemoBlueprintProject.zip",
          "Status": "ACTIVE"
      }
  }
  ```

  Add the `--include-blueprint` argument to include a URL in the output that you can paste into your browser to download the blueprint ZIP archive that AWS Glue stored.
