While `status` is `COMPLETE`, `download_url` carries the download link, which works until `time_expiry`: 24 hours after the export completed. After that the export is `EXPIRED` and the file is gone, so create the export again. ## OpenAPI ````yaml fleet-api/reference/flatpeak-api-spec-fleet.json GET /exports/{export_id} openapi: 3.0.3 info: description: >- The Flatpeak Fleet API. VPP operators use it to enroll, dispatch and settle OEM device fleets. ## Authentication Exchange your `account_id` and `secret_key` for a bearer token at `POST /auth/tokens` with basic auth. Send it as `Authorization: Bearer ` on every request. ## Base URL `https://fleet-api.flatpeak.com` ## Pagination Lists return `data`, `next_cursor` and `url`. Pass `next_cursor` as `cursor` until it is `null`. A cursor is opaque and bound to the endpoint and query parameters that issued it. ## Errors Every non-2xx response carries `object`, `type`, `code` and `message`. Branch on `code`. ## Money and energy Money is a decimal number paired with a `currency_code` (ISO 4217). Power is in kW and energy in kWh. Positive is import, negative is export. ## Live and test `live_mode` marks live or test data. version: 2027-01-01.busbar title: Flatpeak Fleet API termsOfService: https://flatpeak.com/legal contact: name: Technical Support email: support@flatpeak.com url: https://flatpeak.com/contact license: name: Apache 2.0 url: https://flatpeak.com/legal servers: - url: https://fleet-api.flatpeak.com security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Authentication description: >- Exchange your account credentials for a bearer token to authenticate API requests. - name: Connect description: >- Create and retrieve Connect sessions for onboarding customers through your own app. - name: OEMs description: List and retrieve the OEMs whose devices your fleet can reach. - name: Devices description: >- Retrieve, list and update the devices connected to your account, and read their consent history and shared settings. - name: Locations description: >- Read the location a device sits behind: its timezone, currency, metering and your devices there. - name: Dispatch description: Submit plans to devices on managed tariffs and read the dispatch timeline. - name: Telemetry description: Read device state, device meter records and location meter records. - name: Tariffs description: Create, retrieve, delete, and list tariffs. - name: Events description: Retrieve and list account events. - name: VPP Programs description: >- Define and manage VPP programs: the commercial terms devices enroll under, and their live state. - name: Groups description: >- Named collections of devices for bulk dispatch and aggregated reads.
