Best Practices

Create a dedicated folder for downloaded resources:

dzdk resources fetch --id report --output ~/dzaleka-resources/report.pdf
Use descriptive filenames that include dates or versions:
dzdk resources fetch --id handbook --output handbook-2026-v2.pdf
Before downloading, check the “Last Updated” date to see if you need a new version:
dzdk resources get --id handbook
# Check last updated date
# Download only if newer than your current version
To download multiple resources, create a simple script:
dzdk resources fetch --id doc1 --output file1.pdf
dzdk resources fetch --id doc2 --output file2.pdf
dzdk resources fetch --id doc3 --output file3.pdf
Resource availability depends on the remote server. If a download fails, verify your internet connection and that the resource still exists using the resources get command.
Downloaded resources are saved to your local filesystem and can be accessed offline once downloaded.
