Request a response data export

POST
/export/surveys/{surveyId}
curl --request POST \
--url https://app.surveyrock.com/api/v1/export/surveys/example \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Idempotency-Key: example' \
--data '{ "format": "csv", "filters": {}, "options": {}, "pii_level": "anonymized" }'

Initiates a response data export. For small datasets (≤1000 responses), returns immediately with status ‘ready’. For larger datasets, queues the export and returns status ‘queued’.

string

Survey ID to export responses from

Idempotency-Key
required
