      How to programmatically export your Gatsby data

      This is ideal for developers and brands who have custom integration needs or want to streamline their export / import process into any on-prem systems.

      To programmatically export your Gatsby data, please follow the steps below.

      Step 1: Create your Gatsby API Key

      1. Log into Gatsby >> Hover over top right menu >> Integrations >> scroll to the bottom and click "Create Private API Key"

       

      Step 2: Call the API

      Starting in April 2024, you can now call your media and people separately:

      API Type: GET
      API URL: https://gatsby.tech/v2/export/media?

      Request header:{
      "apikey" : "string", // required
      }

      Request query parameters:
      {
      "capture_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
      "capture_end_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
      "mention_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
      "mention_end_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
      "order" : "asc or desc" // optional
      "sort_by_column" : 'like','tiktokHandle','engagement','publishDate','handle','followers','addedDate','mentionDate' //Optional from any of these
      "page" : "1" // optional
      "limit" : "20" // optional
      }

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

      API Type: GET
      API URL: https://gatsby.tech/v2/export/people?

      Request header:{
       "apikey" : "string", // required
      }

      Request query parameters:

      {
       "capture_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
       "capture_end_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
       "mention_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
       "mention_end_date" : "MM-DD-YYYY" // optional
       "order" : "asc or desc" // optional
       "sort_by_column" : 'addedDate','mentionDate','captureDate','igHandle','tiktokHandle','email','igFollower','followYou','igFollows','tiktokFollower','tiktokHearts','gscore','bio','post','tiktokFollows','tiktokVideos','tiktokBio,'source' //Optional from any of these
       "page" : "1" // optional
       "limit" : "20" // optional
      }

      Step 3: Parse JSON Response

      • The response will include all people and media data from your Gatsby account.
      • If you used "capture_date" or "mention_date" and "mention_end_date"  in your request, then the response will include specifically your data on the people associated with handles that were captured after that date. 
      • For example: If you call the API with a capture date of 1-1-2021, then the JSON response will include all people and all media associated with users who were captured after 1-1-2021. Time zone GMT.

      Example Response:
