M3ter ExportAdHoc API

Endpoints for triggering one-off, ad-hoc Data Exports. You can set up and run ad-hoc Exports to export two kinds of data from your m3ter Organization: * Usage data. * Operational data for entities. **Ad-Hoc Export Destinations** When setting up and running an ad-hoc Export: * You can define one or more Export Destinations - see the [ExportDestination](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/api#tag/ExportDestination) section of this API Reference. When the export runs, the data is sent through to the sepecified Destination. However, the export file is also made available for you to download it locally. * You can set up and run Data Exports without defining a Destination. The data is not exported but the compiled export file is made available for downloading locally. * For details on downloading an export file, see the [Get Data Export File Download URL](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/api#tag/ExportDestination/operation/GenerateDataExportFileDownloadUrl) endpoint in this API Reference. **Preview Version!** The Data Export feature is currently available only in Preview release version. See [Feature Release Stages](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/guides/getting-started/feature-release-stages) for Preview release definition. ExportAdHoc endpoints will only be available if Data Export has been enabled for your Organization. For more details see [Data Export(Preview)](https://www.m3ter.com/docs/guides/data-exports) in our main User documentation. If you're interested in previewing the Data Export feature, please get in touch with m3ter Support or your m3ter contact.

      summary: Trigger data export
      description: 'Trigger an ad-hoc Data Export. Each ad-hoc Export can be configured for exporting *only one of* either Usage or Operational data:


        **Operational Data Exports**.

        * **Entity Types**. Use the `operationalDataTypes` parameter to specify the entities whose operational data you want to include in the ad-hoc export.

        * **Export Files**. For each of the entity types you select, when the ad-hoc export runs a separate file is compiled containing the operational data for all entities of that type that exist in your Organization


        **Usage Data Exports**.

        * Select the Meters and Accounts whose usage data you want to include in the ad-hoc export.

        * You can use the `dimensionFilters` parameter to filter the usage data returned for export by adding specific values of non-numeric Dimension data fields on included Meters. Only the data collected for the values you''ve added for the selected Dimension fields will be included in the export.

        * You can use the `aggregations` to apply aggregation methods the usage data returned for export. This restricts the range of usage data returned for export to only the data collected by aggregated fields on selected Meters. Nothing is returned for any non-aggregated fields on Meters. The usage data for Meter fields is returned as the values resulting from applying the selected aggregation method. See the Aggregations for Queries - Options and Consequences for more details.

        * If you''ve applied `aggregations` to the usage returned for export, you can then use the `groups` parameter to group the data by *Account*, *Dimension*, or *Time*.


        **Date Range for Operational Data Exports**. To restrict the operational data included in the ad-hoc export by a date/time range, use the `startDate` date/time request parameter to specify the start of the time period. The export will include all operational data from the specified `startDate` up until the date/time the export job runs.


        **Date Range for Usage Data Exports**. To restrict the usage data included in the ad-hoc export by date/time range, use the `startDate` and `endDate` date/time parameters:

        * Both `startDate` and `endDate` are required.

        * `endDate` must be after `startDate`.

        * `endDate` cannot be after tomorrow at midnight UTC. For example if today is May 20th 2025, you can only choose `endDate` to be equal or before 2025-05-21T00:00:00.000Z.


        **NOTE:** You can use the ExportJob `id` returned to check the status of the triggered ad-hoc export. See the ExportJob section of this API Reference.'
