Verified steps

  1. POST to /export/content/data with a JSON body containing 'created_at_after' and 'created_at_before' as Unix timestamps, and 'export_type': 'conversations' (or 'contacts', 'companies', 'events', etc.).
  2. The response contains a 'job_identifier' and 'status'; poll GET /export/content/data/{job_identifier} until 'status' is 'complete'.
  3. When status is 'complete', the response contains a 'download_url' — fetch this URL to download a gzip-compressed CSV or NDJSON file; the URL is time-limited.
  4. Decompress and parse the export file; large exports may be split into multiple files referenced in a 'data' array within the response.
  5. Export jobs have a maximum time window (typically 30 days per request); for longer date ranges, make multiple overlapping export requests.
  6. Store the download before the URL expires; re-requesting an export for the same period requires a new job submission.
