This endpoint is only available to organization administrators.
POST https://rust-dc.zulipchat.com/api/v1/export/realm
Create a public or a standard data export of the organization.
Changes: Prior to Zulip 10.0 (feature level 304), only
public data exports could be created using this endpoint.
New in Zulip 2.1.
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python
import zulip
# The user for this zuliprc file must be an organization administrator
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc-admin")
# Create a public data export of the organization.
result = client.call_endpoint(url="/export/realm", method="POST")

-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
--data-urlencode export_type=full_with_consent
Parameters
export_type string optional
Example: "full_with_consent"
Whether the data export should be public, full with consent,
or full without consent.
public = Public data only export.full_with_consent = Public and private data export (with consent), which includes
private data for users who have granted consent.full_without_consent = All public and private data export, which includes private data for
all users. This option requires the organization to have
the owner_full_content_access feature enabled.
If not specified, defaults to public.
Changes: Zulip 12.0 (feature level 449) changed the type of
this field from int to string with 1 being replaced by public and
2 being replaced by full_with_consent. The option full_without_consent
was added for full exports without member consent.
Changes: New in Zulip 10.0 (feature level 304). Previously,
all export requests were public data exports.
Must be one of: "public", "full_with_consent", "full_without_consent".
Defaults to "public".
