Hi all,

Say I have a run that had a good result, and I want to re-run it. What would be the recommended way to do this? How can I download a previous run’s config values to create a new run with the same config?

Thanks, Carlos

Hey Carlos, you can get the config by using our Public API. Here is a code snippet you can use:

import wandb  
api = wandb.Api()

run = api.run("//\<run\_id\>")  
run.file(“config.yaml”).download()

You can also use the W&B Launch feature which is in beta at the moment. Here is a [link](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/launch) to the documentation.

Best,  
Arman
