Hi,

Is there a REST API to download the .xml file of processes that we draw at flowable modeler.

Hi @vipin-aikonlabs

You have to pass the process model id.

Thanks,

In postman, I am getting a Flowable IDM page. even I have passed basic authentication.  
If I directly hit on the browser I am getting the Process Model, maybe because, I am logged in IDM.

Is there a way to get it through API, what changes I need to do in postman to access the response.
