Suggest Edits

OpenWeb enables you to export Conversation comments. You can export comments based on a date range.

When initiating a comment export, be mindful of the following:

  • Each time a comment export is initiated, a new data set is generated.
  • The duration of the export process depends upon the size of the data set.
  • The Comment Export API is not meant for incremental or repetitive queries.

📘

To use this API, request that it be enabled for your Spot ID from your OpenWeb PSM.


Requirement


Export comments

Use the following steps to export Conversation comments:

  1. Make a POST /v2/export/comments call. The API returns the check status endpoint populated with the export request ID as the value of status-link.

    📘

    The duration between the since and to values must be ≤ 24 hours.

curl -L -X POST 'https://api-exporter.openweb.com/v2/export/comments' \
     -H 'apikey: EXPORT_TOKEN' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"since": "2022-07-30T00:00:00","to": "2022-07-30T23:59:00"}'

  1. Use the status-link value to make a GET /v2/export/comments/status call. The API returns secured URLs to download the export in a links array. If the export download is not ready, the API returns "status": "Processing".
curl -L GET 'https://api-exporter.openweb.com/v2/export/comments/status?id=EXPORT_REQUEST_ID' \
     -H 'apikey: EXPORT_TOKEN' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
