Genesys Cloud - Main

Process Details (and where to find the download URI):

1. Create Export Job:

   • You'll send a POST request to the /api/v2/flows/datatables/{datatableId}/export/jobs endpoint. The datatableId is a placeholder for the actual ID of the datatable you want to export.
   • Include your API token in the Authorization header of the request (e.g., Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN).
   • The API will respond with a JSON object containing information about the newly created export job, including a unique id for the job.

2. Check Job Status:

   • Use the job id from the previous step.
   • Send GET requests to the /api/v2/flows/datatables/{datatableId}/export/jobs/{exportJobId} endpoint. Replace {datatableId} and {exportJobId} with the actual values.
   • Again, include your API token in the Authorization header.
   • The API response will be a JSON object containing the current status of the export job. The key property to monitor is status.
   • Keep checking the status periodically (e.g., every few seconds) until the status is either "Succeeded" or "Failed".

3. Download the File (using the downloadURI property):

   • Crucially, when the job status is "Succeeded", the API response will include a property called downloadURI. This property contains the URL you need to use to download the exported CSV file.
   • Use an HTTP client (like the requests library in Python, or even your web browser) to make a GET request to the downloadURI. You must still include your API token in the Authorization header of this request as well.
   • The response to this GET request will be the actual CSV file data. You can then save this data to a file on your system.

Example of a Successful Job Status Response (Illustrative):

{
  "id": "your-export-job-id",
  "name": "ExportJob",
  "status": "Succeeded",
  "downloadURI": "https://api.mypurecloud.com/api/v2/downloads/some-unique-download-id?...",
  "dateCreated": "2023-10-27T10:00:00Z",
  "dateCompleted": "2023-10-27T10:01:00Z",
  "countRecordsProcessed": 12345
}

Key Considerations:

• API Rate Limits: Be mindful of Genesys Cloud API rate limits. Introduce delays (e.g., using time.sleep() in Python) between status checks to avoid exceeding these limits.
• Permissions: Double-check that your OAuth client and user account have the necessary permissions.
• Region Specific URL: The examples use "https://api.mypurecloud.com". Remember to replace this with the correct API endpoint for your Genesys Cloud region.
