is:issue is:open RFE: export api format from cli

[drmbt]

it would be really neat if i could export an API format from the cli without having to load comfy and go to the browser at all... there's got to be an easy way to fork this in, even if the workflow has to run once already via default args

[drmbt]

any chance either through comfy CLI or Comfy Manager this could be a thing? even if it means booting a stripped down headless version, loading the file, extrating workflow_api.json and closing it, there should be a procedural way to do this, no?

It's not possible with the current structure.
This is because certain parts must be interpreted through JS execution in order to export the API.

shouldn't it be possible to do a background comfy launch to initialize and validate the nodes, get the node map etc and run an api export?

Fetching node information is simple.
However, the challenge lies in generating the data called a prompt derived from the workflow.
