Start an export

Changed on

Starts the same export as a custom date range in Settings > Export and answers 202 Accepted. A period without absences still produces a file. Request the URL in the Location header until it stops answering 202; it then returns the file. Send the key as X-API-KEY or as Authorization: Bearer <key>. In a Power Automate HTTP action set Authentication to Raw with Bearer <key>, because it applies to the polling requests too. A key in the query string is not part of the Location URL. Requires an admin and an eligible plan. At most 5 API exports can run per workspace; more answer 429.
