# Create content data export

`POST /export/content/data`

To create your export job, you need to send a `POST` request to the export endpoint `https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data`.

The only parameters you need to provide are the range of dates that you want exported.

>🚧 Limit of one active job
>
> You can only have one active job per workspace. You will receive a HTTP status code of 429 with the message Exceeded rate limit of 1 pending message data export jobs if you attempt to create a second concurrent job.

>❗️ Updated_at not included
>
> It should be noted that the timeframe only includes messages sent during the time period and not messages that were only updated during this period. For example, if a message was updated yesterday but sent two days ago, you would need to set the created_at_after date before the message was sent to include that in your retrieval job.

>📘 Date ranges are inclusive
>
> Requesting data for 2018-06-01 until 2018-06-30 will get all data for those days including those specified - e.g. 2018-06-01 00:00:00 until 2018-06-30 23:59:99.
