By the published version path, you mean getting the file path of a particular version of a product?

For reference, product info are structed in this manner:

project
  └── folder path
         └── product
                └── version
                       └── representation
                              └── files

Here’s an example ayon-recipes/get_product_info_from_ayon.py at 3164d335597fd65b339ab09d97ab1b524eb1e0e6 · MustafaJafar/ayon-recipes · GitHub

Yes this is exactly what i was looking for, the published files, i am bit curious when returning the file path why is it not resolving the root[work] location, is there any way to resolve that also when getting the file?

You’d need to get template data and resolve the paths when necessary.

ah … ok is it possible to get it just with using the ayon_api? i am planning to run this on a system without all the ayon env setup? or is it only possible to run this inside of ayon env?

It uses some functions from ayon-core.

I’m not sure how to/if it possible to run standalone python scripts that can imports ayon_api and ayon_core.

This topic came before here Turning VS Code into an Ayon script editor

Getting published files through ayon_core is much easier, no need to manage the template data yourself. Just call ayon_core.pipeline.get_representation_path(representation_entity: dict)

There are some others like get_representation_path_from_context and get_representation_path_with_anatomy that may be better suited if trying to access it from outside a project context etc.

get_representation_path_from_context is essentially what all the Loader plug-ins for example are using through self.filepath_from_context
