In Homey 2019 I have used homey:app:com.internet. This app is not updated for pro 2026 and a lot of flows are broken. Is there any way I can read the flows (need the urls) with ssh or other technics? It would be great, as everyone else: I have not documented what I have done… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/3/a311812e2b67cd6e0b934bb3ed86e4eb6e1d0d9d.png) ---

You can use the onboard http GET/POST PUT/DELETE request cards since a few years now: ![Screenshot_20260630_000800_Vivaldi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9fb1c4cd284ceb43bd409edfec390d758157bfd8.jpeg) ---

They want to be able to see the old card so they can extract the URL’s from it. @OlaSt try this: - open the web app in a browser: [https://my.homey.app](https://my.homey.app) - open the Flow tab and then open the flow you’re interested in - in the browser’s URL bar, take the last part of the URL (_after_ the last `/`); this is the unique identifier of your particular flow and looks something like this: `2eecf917-f682-4fe3-8a03-e46c2c9cd85a` (but with different numbers/letters) - then open the Web API Playground: [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground) - enter the following code and press the Run button: ```auto Homey.flow.getFlow({ id : '2eecf917-f682-4fe3-8a03-e46c2c9cd85a' }) ``` (replace `2eec...85a` with the ID that you extracted in the third step) Hopefully this will return the internal representation of the flow, with the (URL) arguments intact. ---

Great! This work fine! Thanks, @robertklep ! SOLVED: But I also have one or two advanced flows. Any solution? **SOLUTION:** **Homey.flow.getAdvancedFlow()** ---

> [@robertklep](#): > > Hopefully this will return the internal representation of the flow, with the (URL) arguments intact. Would exporting the flow ([ALT + rightclick on the flow](https://community.homey.app/t/web-app-alt-context-menu-export-import-flows/143013)) yield the same result/information? The export is a text/json file with the technical representation of the flow. ---

Yeah, that would probably contain the same information 👍🏻 ---

Ah, great tip as well!
