# 💻 Generate Executable Code Examples

To run your method outside of the CCP UI, CCP can export **ready-to-run scripts** in different languages that use the CCP REST API to execute a method programmatically.

These scripts let you:

- Reproduce the execution from your notebook, shell, or codebase
- Automate executions and integrate CCP into pipelines
- Understand how the platform works under the hood

---

## 🧭 Where Can I Export the Code?

You can generate a full execution script from:

### 1. **The Method Execution Form**

Before running a method, select a language and click the **export icon** ![export icon](/_static/imgs/generate_code.png)

- It will call CCP’s REST API to submit the method
- It includes logic to poll for completion and download the results

### 2. **The Execution Monitor Page**

After a method has been executed:

- Use the same **language selector** to generate the execution script
- This version is pre-filled with the **exact parameters used**
- You can rerun or adapt it with minimal effort

---

## 🧪 What the Script Does

The generated code performs the full execution lifecycle:

1. **Authentication**: using your API token
2. **Submission**: sends a POST request to `/methods/execute`
3. **Polling**: waits for the job to finish (with backoff)
4. **Result retrieval**: downloads outputs and metadata

## 🧬 Supported Languages

| Language         | What You Get                                   |
|------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| **Python 3**     | Uses `requests`, JSON payloads, download files |
| **R**            | Uses `httr`, handles polling with loops        |
| **Jupyter Python** | Like Python, but includes visualization cells |
| **Julia 1.9.0**  | Uses `HTTP.jl`, basic example                   |
| **Bash (curl)**  | Raw shell script with `curl`, polling logic    |
| **Bash (wget)**  | Same as above, but using `wget`                |

📎 _Note_: All scripts are **self-contained** and ready to run — just authebticate and go.

## 📦 What’s in the Script

A typical script contains:

- `method_id` → the ID of the method to run
- `input_values` → as JSON or inline in the body
- `polling` logic → to wait for job completion
- `download` logic → to save output files

You can copy, modify, and integrate these into your automation workflows.

---

## 🔐 Security Note

The script will ask you to **input your authentication password**.

---

## 🧠 Why It Matters

Exporting the execution script helps you:

- Debug or rerun executions with full control
- Reproduce your analysis in other environments
- Integrate CCP into automated systems or pipelines
- Learn how to interact with the REST API
