# POST /core/users/export/

`POST /core/users/export/`

Create a data export for this data type. Note that the export is generated asynchronously:
this method returns a `DataExport` object that will initially have `completed=false` as well
as the permanent URL to that object in the `Location` header.
You can poll that URL until `completed=true`, at which point the `file_url` property will
contain a URL to download
