Overview
We are adding a new option to the Data Export endpoint which allow you to set the export format to ESRI SHP (Shape) file instead of the standard CSV export.
Who does this affect?
This change will affect API users of the Export endpoint who require ESRI shape file output.
Details
The following endpoint:
POST /api/export
can now be used to specify the export type as ESRI SHP. Note that due to length constraints in the SHP format for field data, attributes values may be truncated in the exported files.
The endpoint now accepts two different request models:
ShapefileExportWebRequestModel requests made with this model will return files as SHP.
CsvExportWebRequestModel requests made with this model will return data as a CSV.
Both these models extend the ExportWebRequestModelBase model.
Note the the SHP format consists of multiple (3) files that will be returned on the Export File endpoint as a zipped bundle.
Expected Release Date
13th January 2022
