# Export Target File Version

`POST /projects/{projectId}/target-files/{targetFileId}/versions/{fileVersionId}/exports`

Generates an asynchronous export operation. Use the [Get Target File Version Export](#/operations/PollTargetFileVersionExport) endpoint to poll until the export is completed. Used only for [BCM](../../BCM/BCM.NET_client_API.html) file versions.

This operation triggers a conversion of the BCM target file version in a native or SDLXLIFF format, based on the value of the `format` query parameter used.

Consider the [file and project size limit](https://docs.rws.com/791595/815967/trados-enterprise---accelerate/file-and-project-size-limit) when uploading files.

## Query parameters

- `format` 'native' | 'sdlxliff'

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, required
- `X-LC-Tenant` string, required

## Response `202`

- FileVersionExport — Represents the result of an asynchronous operation, including status and potential error information.
  - `id` string, required — Unique identifier for the asynchronous operation.
  - `status` 'created' | 'inProgress' | 'completed' | 'failed', required — The status of the asynchronous operation.
  - `errorMessage` string — When the status is 'failed', it contains the error message explaining what went wrong.
  - `downloadUrl` string — The url where the file can be downloaded.
