How to use Object Copy API to export to a file?

Hello,

 

I've a question regarding Object Copy API 

I understand that with /exim/snapshots/copy I can copy objects from one sandbox to another. This works fine.

But how can I "dump" an object to a local JSON file? I tried with /exim/snapshots/export but I only get some "correlationId". How can I download my stuff (e.g. a Journey in JSON format) based on this "correlationId"?

 

Thank you!

    Thank you @akshaaga 

     

    I tried, but it doesn't work ...

     

    Step 1: Export - OK

    Step 2: check status (I'm using a different URL, not yours) OK

     

    Step 3: download. FAIL. 404

    Any idea what I miss here?

     

    Thanks!

    @mdonke ,

    The "correlationId" you receive when making a request to the /exim/snapshots/export endpoint is a unique identifier for the export job that you initiated. This identifier can be used to check the status of the export job and download the exported data.

    You can make a GET request to the /exim/snapshots/export/{correlationId} endpoint, where {correlationId} is the unique identifier for your export job.

    If the export job has completed successfully, you can download the exported data by making a GET request to the /exim/snapshots/export/{correlationId}/download endpoint.

    This will return the exported data in a JSON format that you can save to a local file.
