I’m running experiments on an environment with no internet connection, and I have some issues running wand locally. I can save the run in offline mode.

I’d like to access the logs/artifacts/tables using the public API (I have that already implemented), but by giving a path to the relevant experiment’s wandb directory (and not with the `entity/project/run_id` run\_id format)?

Hi @shlomihod,

If you would like to use the API to fetch data, unfortunately the only way right now is to log the files in the directory to a W&B instance (local or our cloud). Seeing as you do not have access to the internet, the only solution in this case would be to set up a local instance.

Could you share what issues you are seeing with trying to set up your local instance? We can help get it going for you.
