POST

/v3/downloads/{scanId}/export/{exportId}

One of the most common patterns, when integrating with our services, is to submit a scan and download the full results as soon as the scan is completed. When the scan is completed, Copyleaks triggers a ‘Completed’ webhook to inform that the scan has been completed. At this point, you will have all the needed information (i.e. the ‘result ids’) to download and present the reports on your side. Since you may have large number of documents to download (the results, crawled version of the text and the pdf-report), you may need to send many HTTP REST calls to execute to export the data from our services.

The ‘Export’ method makes this process easier by specifying the content you would like to export in a single call and we will copy all the data according to your request. Then, we will fire an ‘export-completed; webhook with the export results summary.

If you are using a distributed cloud storage system (like AWS buckets, Google buckets or Azure Storage), we are able to export the data directly to your storage without the involvement of your servers. In order to do so, create a Signed URL for each data item that you would like to export. By specifying the request method (verb) and optionally added headers, the writing to this storage will be triggered, as per your definition.

You need to login with a user and api key in order to access this method.

Add this HTTP header to your request:

Authorization: Bearer <Your-Login-Token>
