CloudExport

CloudExport[expr,"format"]

exports expr to a new anonymous cloud object in the specified format.

CloudExport[expr,"format","uri"]

exports to a cloud object at a given URI.

CloudExport[expr,"format",CloudObject["uri"]]

exports to a given cloud object.

Details and Options

  • CloudExport exports raw content to cloud objects. Unlike CloudDeploy, it does not set up active executable structures in the cloud.
  • CloudExport returns the CloudObject to which it saves.
  • CloudExport[expr,"format",URL["uri"]] is also supported.
  • To copy an existing local file to the cloud, use CopyFile.
  • CloudExport allows the following options:
  • AutoCopy Falsewhether to make a copy when opened
    CachePersistence Automaticcontrols the time duration for which an object will be cached by a client
    CloudBaseAutomaticwhat cloud to export to
    CloudObjectNameFormat$CloudObjectNameFormatformat to use for the name portion of the URL
    CloudObjectURLType$CloudObjectURLTypebase type of URL to use (obj, env, ...)
    IconRulesAutomaticicons to use for the exported object
    MetaInformation{}metainformation for the exported object
    PermissionsAutomaticpermissions for the exported object
    SourceLink Automaticobject to be linked as the source
  • With the default setting PermissionsAutomatic, CloudExport creates a cloud object with permissions set to $Permissions, which is usually "Private".

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

Export an image to the cloud:

Export to a named cloud object:

Scope  (1)

Export to a named cloud object specified by a string:

Export to a named cloud object specified by a CloudObject:

Export to a named cloud object specified by a URL:

Options  (3)

CachePersistence  (1)

Export an image that will be cached in the browser with a default cache timeout of 60 seconds:

Check the value of the "cache-control" header from the response:

Change the time duration so that the object will be cached for a day:

AutoCopy  (1)

AutoCopy is False by default:

Change AutoCopy to True:

Open the cloud object in environment view and click the link "Create a copy of this file" to make a copy:

SourceLink  (1)

Export an image with a cloud object given as the source:

View the source link:

Applications  (1)

Export a list of all countries as a CSV file on the Wolfram Cloud:

The data can be imported using CloudImport:

Possible Issues  (1)

Using CloudExport for expressions like APIFunction that have special behavior in the cloud does not activate their special behavior:

Calling the cloud object does not do any computation since an expression is simply displayed using text, which happens to be imported as something readable by URLExecute:

In order to create a usable APIFunction, it must be deployed with CloudDeploy or CloudPublish:

Now it reads the parameters and evaluates the function when invoked, as intended:
