Overview

An export proposal would create a reproducible data snapshot for an authorized purpose. Export creation is not accounting posting or third-party synchronization.

Key concepts

Record selected fields, filter boundaries, export format and the source snapshot. Restrict downloadable output independently from job creation.

Implementation considerations

Exclude secrets and unnecessary personal data. No export file, background job or signed download URL is generated by this documentation.

Proposed API behavior

POST /v1/expense-exports is an illustrative design for this topic. Path and field names may change before implementation. Access would require an authorized organization context and operation-specific permission; no public API or authorization grant is available here.

Illustrative request fields
Name	Type	Description
format	string	Proposed representation format; no export file is generated.
start_date	string (date)	Synthetic calendar date in YYYY-MM-DD form; period inclusivity must be defined by the future contract.
end_date	string (date)	Synthetic calendar date in YYYY-MM-DD form; period inclusivity must be defined by the future contract.
field_names	array<string>	Explicit allowed export field selection rather than an unrestricted payload dump.

Static example requests

Proposed, non-executing request examples

# Proposed request text only; this reserved host is not a live API.
curl -X POST 'https://api.remizen.example/v1/expense-exports' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "format": "csv",
  "start_date": "2026-01-15",
  "end_date": "2026-01-31",
  "field_names": [
    "id",
    "amount_minor",
    "currency"
  ]
}'

Fictional response example

201 (proposed example)Static response fixture

Fictional documentation data only. No request was sent, record created, review performed, payment initiated or provider connection activated.

JSON

{
  "data": {
    "format": "csv",
    "field_names": [
      "id",
      "amount_minor",
      "currency"
    ],
    "id": "expense_exports_example_123",
    "organization_id": "org_example_123"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "req_example_123",
    "reference_only": true
  }
}

Illustrative error case

Review this failure case in context: Exclude secrets and unnecessary personal data. No export file, background job or signed download URL is generated by this documentation.

422 (illustrative; final error contracts are undecided)Proposed error fixture

Synthetic diagnostic example. Human-readable messages must not be used as stable programmatic contracts.

JSON

{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_error",
    "message": "The proposed expense export operation requires review of its input or authorization.",
    "request_id": "req_example_123"
  }
}

Proposed data types
