Downloading Reports

Because screenshots and video are only retained in storage for 14 days, VeriWasp offers a one-click download of everything a report has to offer, bundled into a single ZIP archive, so you can keep the visual evidence for a run indefinitely even after that window closes.

Where to find it​

A Download link/button appears in two places, both only once a run has reached completed or failed status:

  • On the private run detail page (/runs/{id}/download), next to Re-run and View shareable report.
  • On the public shareable report (/r/{slug}/download), in the footer note right above the share/CTA row. Visible to anyone with the report link, no login required, same as the rest of the public report.

Both links produce the identical archive; the public one simply doesn't require you to be logged in as the run's owner.

What's in the archive​

The downloaded file is a .zip containing:

  • summary.txt: a plain-text summary of the run, including target URL, run label/description, final status, viewport, whether Chaos Mode was used, the run's date, a numbered list of every step (action type, description, and pass/fail status, with the error message inline for any failed step), and a list of every issue found (category, severity, and summary).
  • video.mp4: the full stitched video replay, if the run produced one (a run that never successfully navigated has no video; see Understanding Run Results).
  • screenshots/: a folder containing every step's individual screenshot, named 01-navigate.png, 02-click.png, 03-type.png, and so on (zero-padded step number, then the step's action type), for any step that has one.

If a particular screenshot or the video failed to load from storage at the time of download (for instance, if you're right at the edge of the 14-day window and it's already been deleted), that individual file is silently skipped rather than failing the whole download. You'll still get everything else that's still available, including summary.txt, which is generated fresh from the database every time and never expires.

Trying to download too early​

Downloading is only available for runs in completed or failed status. Attempting to download a draft, queued, or running run's archive returns an error rather than a partial/empty file. Wait for the run to finish first.
