Download & Report APIs
The IoT.live Download & Report APIs provide access to generated reports and downloadable operational datasets.
These APIs are primarily used alongside:
- Export APIs
- Async operational workflows
- Batch processing
- Reporting integrations
Download APIs allow integrations to retrieve generated files once processing has completed.

Download & report workflow overview
Large operational exports often execute asynchronously.
Typical workflow:
- Submit export request
- Export enters async processing
- Report generation completes
- Report becomes downloadable
- Integration retrieves generated file
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: Report generation lifecycle]
Report generation workflows
The platform supports report generation for:
- Connection inventory exports
- Usage reporting
- Audit exports
- Billing exports
- Campaign results
- Bulk operational processing
Large exports may:
- Take significant time to complete
- Generate very large files
- Require async processing
Report generation may continue processing after the initial export request returns.
download/report API
The Swagger documentation references a dedicated report download endpoint:
This endpoint is used to retrieve completed export files after generation has finished.
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: Report download workflow]
Example download workflow
Typical integration flow:
- Submit export API request
- Receive async response
- Monitor processing status
- Retrieve generated report
- Store or process downloaded file
Common report workflows include:
- Inventory exports
- Usage reporting
- Audit datasets
- Billing exports
Example export request
Example report download request
Refer to the Swagger schema definitions for exact report download parameters and authentication requirements.
Common export types
Typical downloadable reports may include:
- CSV exports
- Usage reports
- Audit datasets
- Billing reports
- Campaign operation results
- Statistics exports
Supported formats may vary depending on:
- API group
- Provider integration
- Export type
- Platform configuration
Async export monitoring
Before downloading reports, integrations should verify:
- Export completion
- Async operation status
- Campaign processing state
- Failed record handling
Recommended monitoring approaches include:
- Async campaign APIs
- Export status APIs
- Audit APIs
- Operational logging
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: Async export monitoring]
Large file considerations
Large exports may:
- Require extended processing time
- Generate large downloadable files
- Need retry handling
- Require background processing
Recommended practices include:
- Using async exports for large datasets
- Exporting smaller date ranges where possible
- Downloading reports promptly
- Archiving reports securely
Incremental exports are often more efficient than repeatedly exporting full historical datasets.
Security considerations
Downloaded reports may contain:
- Customer information
- Usage records
- Billing data
- Operational history
- Subscription identifiers
Recommended controls include:
- Restricting report access
- Encrypting stored reports
- Applying retention policies
- Auditing report downloads
Generated reports should be treated as sensitive operational and commercial data.
Best practices
Recommended report integration practices include:
- Monitor export completion before downloading
- Validate report integrity after retrieval
- Track export operations using corrId
- Archive reports securely
- Restrict download permissions carefully
- Avoid generating duplicate exports unnecessarily
