info:
  title: Data Access Files API
  description: "Data Access supports limited data egress from Adobe Experience Platform for very particular synchronous use cases. \nThis API has a 60-second response time limit. For large data exports or regular data integration, you should use \ndataset export destinations.\n\n- **Related documentation**:\n  - [Data Access documentation](https://www.adobe.com/go/data-access-overview-en)\n\n- **Visualize API calls with Postman (a free, third-party software)**:\n  - [Data Access API Postman collection on GitHub](https://github.com/adobe/experience-platform-postman-samples/blob/master/apis/experience-platform/Data%20Access%20API.postman_collection.json)\n  - [Video guide for creating the Postman environment](https://video.tv.adobe.com/v/28832)\n  - [Steps for importing environments and collections in Postman](https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/collection_runs/using_environments_in_collection_runs/)\n\n- **API paths**:\n  - PLATFORM Gateway URL: https://<span>platform.adobe.io/\n  - Base path for this API: /data/foundation/export\n  - Example of a complete path: https://<span>platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/export/batches/{batchId}/files\n\n- **Required headers**:\n  - All calls require the headers `Authorization`, `x-gw-ims-org-id`, and `x-api-key`. For more information on how to obtain these values, see the [authentication tutorial](http://www.adobe.com/go/platform-api-authentication-en).\n  - All resources in Experience Platform are isolated to specific virtual sandboxes. All requests to Platform APIs require the header `x-sandbox-name` whose value is the all-lowercase name of the sandbox the operation will take place in (for example, \"prod\"). See the [sandboxes overview](https://adobe.com/go/sandbox-overview-en) for more information.\n  - All requests with a payload in the request body (such as POST, PUT, and PATCH calls) must include the header `Content-Type` with a value of `application/json`.\n\n- **API error handling**:\n    - Refer to the Experience Platform API troubleshooting guide for [FAQs](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#faq), [API status codes](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#api-status-codes), and [request header errors](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html#request-header-errors)."
