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.

Invoke an export

  1. Sign in to integrator.io (NA| EU).

  2. Navigate to the Home page and open your desired flow.

  3. Open the export you want to invoke via API.

  4. In the export panel, scroll down and expand the Advanced menu.

  5. Highlight and copy the Invoke URL.

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

  2. Use your Invoke URL to invoke your export. You will receive a synchronous API response.

    The screenshot is wrong, it needs to be exports/invoke instead of singular: export.

    Hi Nuri Ensing, 

    Do you mean the first Postman screenshot? Thanks for catching this!
