Ideas for Arc XP

Expose the bundle name through API for easier reporting in the code

We can get the bundle deployment version from the API. But I would like the bundle name, e.g. develop-b1099-59f36f26, instead (or in addition) to the bundle version (e.g. 671), to be also exposed.

This request stems from the fact that once the bundle has been terminated it’s not possible (or at least we don’t know how) to get the bundle name (which usually contains the actual software version) from the bundle version.

    This use case makes sense Grzegorz,


    I'll slot this idea as future consideration for now and get back to the team to see where and how to expose the bundle name best.

    Hi Faith, I meant some API that is avilable during rendering Output Types on the server, for example Fusion Context https://sandbox.reuters.arcpublishing.com/alc/arc-products/pagebuilder/fusion/developer-documentation/context-component-api/


    The idea is that the code would read the bundle name and add it to the html markup so that when QA opens the page in sandbox they can check the bundle name by inpecting the source of the pge.

    Hi Grzegorz,


    Just to be clear, which API endpoint url you are using to get list of bundles/deployments?
