Response body

When you send a POST request to bulk export assets from the catalog, the API triggers a job to export the assets.

The following example shows the response of the POST request to bulk export assets from the catalog:

{
"jobId": "6a5b273a-f816-4346-a8ae-f2d27f3e3240",
"trackingURI": "/data360/observable/v1/jobs/6a5b273a-f816-4346-a8ae-f2d27f3e3240?expandChildren=OUTPUT-PROPERTIES",
"outputURI": "/data360/observable/v1/jobs/6a5b273a-f816-4346-a8ae-f2d27f3e3240/outputProperties/files/Export_File"
}

The following table describes the response body parameters for the export API request:

Parameter	Description
jobId	Unique ID of the export job that the request triggers.
trackingURI	Job tracking URI that you can use to send a GET request to monitor the status of the export job.
outputURI	Output file URI that you can use to send a GET request to download the exported file.

Once the job completes, you can send a GET request to download the exported file using the outputURI. The exported file is a Microsoft Excel file in the .xslx format or a CSV file.

Note:

If the export file contains more than 10,000 assets, the system compresses the data into a ZIP file.
