Overview#

A government statistician needs monthly transaction data delivered to a national financial intelligence unit in a specific XML schema, on a fixed schedule, with an encrypted transfer and a delivery receipt for audit purposes. Setting that up as a manual process creates operational risk every month. The Export API makes it a configured pipeline: format, schedule, destination, encryption, and retry logic are defined once, and the delivery happens without manual intervention until something needs changing.

The same API handles everything from a one-off CSV extract for an analyst to a high-volume nightly sync feeding an external data warehouse. Format support covers the full range needed in regulated environments: PDF/A-3 for archival, XML and JSON for regulatory submission schemas, Excel for working analysts, and Parquet for analytics platforms.

Key Features#

  • Multi-format export covering PDF/A-3, JSON, CSV, XML, Parquet, Excel, and additional data interchange formats suited to regulatory and intelligence workflows
  • High-throughput processing with efficient streaming and batch modes for datasets of any size
  • Real-time webhook integration delivering event-driven data to external systems with low latency
  • Scheduled export automation with cron-based scheduling and timezone-aware execution for international reporting obligations
  • Streaming exports for large datasets, enabling progressive delivery without memory constraints on either side of the transfer
  • Compression and encryption options at the job level, with configurable algorithms and key management for classified or sensitive transfers
  • Format conversion and data transformation during export, including field mapping and type casting for destination-specific schemas
  • Multiple delivery destinations: cloud storage, SFTP, HTTP endpoints, and email
  • Export job management with progress monitoring, status tracking, pause and resume, and resumable operations after transient failures
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff for resilient delivery to external systems
  • Export templates for repeatable data extraction patterns, reducing configuration overhead for recurring submission types
  • Complete audit trail of all export operations with user context and data lineage for compliance and forensic review
  • Multi-tenant isolation ensuring organisational export data separation

Use Cases#

  • Regulatory Data Submission: Compliance teams export structured compliance data in required formats for automated submission to regulatory authorities, with delivery receipts logged to the audit trail
  • Data Warehouse Synchronisation: Organisations schedule periodic exports to maintain synchronised copies of investigation and analytics data in external warehouses for long-term analysis
  • Partner Data Sharing: Intelligence teams share investigation results with partner organisations through secure, encrypted export deliveries scoped to the Community of Interest channel
  • Business Intelligence Integration: Analysts export processed data in analytics-friendly formats for consumption by external BI and reporting platforms, without manual data preparation

Integration#

  • Connects with data sources through typed API interfaces for flexible data extraction
  • Compatible with major cloud storage providers for automated export delivery
  • Supports webhook-based event notification for downstream processing automation
  • Role-based access controls governing export permissions by user, format, and destination
  • Complete audit logging of all export jobs with data lineage tracking
  • Multi-tenant isolation ensuring organisational export data separation
