Example

{
        "auth": "yxoPUlwqm…………pIyEX4H", // required, API access token from Pushwoosh Control Panel
        "filterExpression": "AT(\"12345-67890\", \"Name\", any)", // filter conditions, refer to the Segmentation Language guide for syntax 
        "filterCode": "12345-67890", // pre-made filter code, can be used instead of filterExpression
        "applicationCode": "00000-AAAAA", // required, Pushwoosh app code. Can be obtained from /listFilters API request or address bar of your browser while viewing the filter in Control Panel.
        "generateExport": true // if false, devices count only will be sent in response; by default, a response contains a link to download the CSV file
        "format": "json_each_line", // format of the file to present the data in: "csv" – the .csv file is downloaded; "json" – a JSON file with all expored devices; or "json_each_line" – JSON line for each device. If not specified, CSV is the default format. 
        "exportData": ["hwids", "tags"], // optional, data to export. Possible values: "hwids", "push_tokens", "users", "tags", "fcm_keys", "web keys"
        "tagsList": ["Name", "Level"] // optional, specifies tags to export. To obtain the specific tags only, the "tags" value should be sent within the "exportData" array or the "exportData" be empty. 
}

Please find Segmentation Language reference for writing filter expressions here.

For example, to export all subscribers of a particular app, use the following Filter conditions:

{
        "auth": "yxoPUlwqm…………pIyEX4H", // API access token from Pushwoosh Control Panel
        "filterExpression": "A(\"AAAAA-BBBBB\")" // Pushwoosh app code
}

In the response, you'll get the task_id to get the resulting file. Then, call /exportSegment/result with that task_id in the request body to retrieve the resulting file.

exportSegment results

POST https://api.pushwoosh.com/api/v2/audience/exportSegment/result

Retrieves the link to the CSV with the the /exportSegment results.

Request Body

Name	Type	Description
auth*	String	API access token from Pushwoosh Control Panel.
task_id*	String	Identificator received in your /exportSegment response.

200: OK

{
  "devicesCount": "24735",
  "csvFilename": "https://static.pushwoosh.com/segment-export/export_segment_XXXXX_XXXXX_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.csv.zip",
",
  "status": "completed"
}

Pass the "task_id" received in your /exportSegment response in the /exportSegment/result request body.

In /exportSegment/result response, you'll get the "filename" parameter; go to the link specified as that param value. A ZIP archive will be downloaded automatically. Unpack the archive to get the CSV or JSON (depending on what "format" you've sent in the request) file with the devices' data.

If you specify the "exportData" in your /exportSegment request, the file downloaded will contain the data requested only. By default, the file contains the following user data:
