Download an already uploaded Lambda function

Question

I created a lambda function in AWS (Python) using \"upload .zip\" I lost those files and I need to make some changes, is there is any way to download that .zip?

You can use aws-cli to download the zip of any lambda.

First you need to get the URL to the lambda zip $ aws lambda get-function --function-name $functionName --query 'Code.Location'

Then you need to use wget/curl to download the zip from the URL. $ wget -O myfunction.zip URL_from_step_1

Additionally you can list all functions on your AWS account using

$ aws lambda list-functions

I made a simple bash script to parallel download all the lambda functions from your AWS account. You can see it here :)

Note: You will need to setup aws-cli before using the above commands (or any aws-cli command) using aws configure
