summary: Start an export
description: 'Starts the same export as a custom date range in Settings > Export and answers `202 Accepted`. A period without absences still produces a file. Request the URL in the `Location` header until it stops answering `202`; it then returns the file. Send the key as `X-API-KEY` or as `Authorization: Bearer `. In a Power Automate HTTP action set Authentication to Raw with `Bearer `, because it applies to the polling requests too. A key in the query string is not part of the `Location` URL. Requires an admin and an eligible plan. At most 5 API exports can run per workspace; more answer 429.'
