This tutorial demonstrates how to export customer data to a CSV file using our API. This is a common task for reporting and data analysis.

Prerequisites

You'll need an API key and some understanding of basic HTTP requests.

Steps

2. Authentication: Include your API key in the header: X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
3. Handle the Response: The response will be a CSV file.

Example `curl` Command

curl -X GET -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" https://api.example.com/api/v1/customers?format=csv
        

CSV File Structure
