Using the Export Endpoints for Large Scale Data Manipulation

For large scale data manipulation, we recommend using a CSV editing tool as manual editing using the API or through the UI can be more time consuming. To aid with this, there are two export endpoints provided. The first exports a single VKG, and the second exports all VKGs.

Single VKG

Each VKG is generally uploaded via a .csv file, and is thus exported as one as well.

When exporting, the file will be sent as an attachment in the body of the curl. The Postman output would look as follows:

If using another methodology to send the curl, different procedures to access the CSV directly may be needed.

At this point, the response has been received, but the file has not been directly downloaded to the computer. Clicking the three circles on the top right section of the response allows the CSV to download.

The output in a spreadsheet is shown below.

When reuploading the CSV, the nodeID column must be deleted. The first column of every upload should be "text".

All VKGs

The same steps as above apply to exporting all VKGs, but instead of a CSV, they will be downloaded as a ZIP file.

The output will be saved in a ZIP which will contain a CSV file for each VKG. It is expected that exporting all VKG's will take significantly longer.
