Response

Return values

• exports: (object)[]

  An array of dictionaries where each dictionary contains details about a data export of the organization.

  • id: integer

    The ID of the data export.

  • acting_user_id: integer

    The ID of the user who created the data export.

  • export_time: number

    The UNIX timestamp of when the data export was started.

  • deleted_timestamp: number | null

    The UNIX timestamp of when the data export was deleted.

    Will be null if the data export has not been deleted.

  • failed_timestamp: number | null

    The UNIX timestamp of when the data export failed.

    Will be null if the data export succeeded, or if it's still being generated.

  • export_url: string | null

    The URL to download the generated data export.

    Will be null if the data export failed, or if it's still being generated.

  • pending: boolean

    Whether the data export is pending, which indicates it is still being generated, or if it succeeded, failed or was deleted before being generated.

    Depending on the size of the organization, it can take anywhere from seconds to an hour to generate the data export.

  • export_type: integer

    Whether the data export is a public or a standard data export.

    • 1 = Public data export.
    • 2 = Standard data export.

    Changes: New in Zulip 10.0 (feature level 304). Previously, the export type was not included in these objects because only public data exports could be created or listed via the API or UI.
