Deprecation of Analysis Inputs Filename APIs

Change

The Below APIs are deprecated, and scheduled to be removed with Flywheel version 22.0.0 (January 2026)

SDK Function API Route
download_input_from_analysis()
get_analysis_input_download_url()
get_analysis_input_zip_info()		 GET /api/analyses/{cid}/inputs/{filename}
get_analysis_file_info() GET /api/analyses/{container_id}/inputs/{filename}/info
download_{ctype}_input_from_analysis()
get_{ctype}_analysis_input_download_url()
get_{ctype}_analysis_input_zip_info()		 GET /api/{ctype}/{cid}/analyses/{analysis_id}/inputs/{filename}
get_{ctype}_analysis_file_info() GET /api/{ctype}/{cid}/analyses/{analysis_id}/inputs/{filename}/info
get_analysis_file_info() GET /api/{ctype}/{cid}/inputs/{filename}/info

Reason For Change

  • Current behavior is undefined when an analysis has multiple inputs with the same name.
  • Identifying an analysis input file by the combination of the analysis id plus the file name is ambiguous. This is due to analyses supporting multiple input files referencing multiple different files with the same name.

Flywheel recommends users use other API routes where file identification is not ambiguous, such as those that reference files by their ID or by their parent container + filename.
