You may want to download an API proxy (as a zip file) from Edge for one of the following reasons:

- You want to [import an API proxy](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/fundamentals/build-simple-api-proxy#importinganapiproxyfromanapiproxybundle) to another organization.
- You want to unzip the API proxy to your local system. This is useful for setting up file-based API proxy development in source control, or for just looking at the file-based version of the resources. The extracted .zip creates the required directory structure for API proxy deployment.


The following sections describe how to download an API proxy using the [UI](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/fundamentals/download-api-proxies#ui) or [API](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/fundamentals/download-api-proxies#api). For more information, including using scripts, see this Apigee Community post: [Tutorial: How to download a proxy using the UI and the management API](https://discuss.google.dev/t/tutorial-how-to-download-a-proxy-using-the-ui-and-the-management-api/17518).
