Invoke an existing export through the API

Updated

To invoke an export through the API, you’ll need to understand the basics and create an export. In the context of a flow, an export is a flow step that retrieves data from an application. You can think of an export as the source application that supplies the initial data at the beginning of a flow. Use the export API endpoints to run your export. You can also run an export through the JavaScript runtime module.

Requirements

To invoke an export, you'll need to create an API token at Resources → API token.

Important

Only account owners and admins with Developer mode enabled can create API tokens.

  1. In your preferred API client (ex: Postman) set your API token as a Bearer token.
