Start a bulk export job

📘
When exporting a file from the CGC to an attached volume, export is possible only to a volume that is in the same location (cloud provider and region) as the project from which the file is being exported.

Bulk export files from your project on CGC into your volume. One call can contain up to 100 items.

Files selected for export must not be public files or aliases. Aliases are objects stored in your cloud storage bucket which have been made available on CGC. The volume you are exporting to must be configured for read-write access. To do this, set the access_mode parameter to RW when creating or modifying a volume.

Essentially, the call writes to your cloud storage bucket via the volume. If this call is successful, the original project files will become aliases to the newly exported objects on the volume. Source files will be deleted from CGC and, if no more copies of the files exist, they will no longer count towards your total storage price on CGC. In summary, once you export files from CGC to a volume, they are no longer part of the storage on CGC and cannot be exported again.

Please note that export from the CGC to Google Cloud Storage volumes is currently not supported.

Header Fields

Name	Description
X-SBG-Auth-Token required	Your CGC authentication token.
Content-Type required	`application/json`

Query parameters

Key	Data type	Description
`copy_only`	Boolean	If set to `true`, the file will be copied to a volume but the source file will remain on CGC.

Request body

For every item in the request body, you should enter the list of key-value pairs described in the table below. One API call can contain up to 100 items.

Key	Data type	Description
`source` required	Boolean	If set to `true`, the file will be copied to a volume but the source file will remain on CGC.
`file` required	String	The ID of the file for export.
`destination` required	Object	This object describes the destination to which the file will be exported.
`volume`	String	The ID of the volume to which the files will be exported.
`location` required	String	Volume-specific location to which the files will be exported. This location should be recognizable to the underlying cloud service as a valid key or path to the new files. Please note that if this volume has been configured with a `prefix` parameter, the value of `prefix` will be prepended to `location` before attempting to create files on the volume.
`properties`	Object	Service-specific properties of the export. These values override the defaults from the volume.
`sse_algorithm`	String	S3 server-side encryption to use when exporting to this bucket. Supported values: `AES256` (SSE-S3 encryption) 'aws:kms `*`null` (no server-side encryption). default:AES256
`sse_aws_kms_key_id` applies to type:s3	String	If AWS KMS encryption is used, this should be set to the required KMS key. If not set and `aws:kms` is set as `sse_algorithm`, default KMS key is used.
`aws_canned_acl`	String	If AWS KMS encryption is used, this should be set to the required KMS key. If not set and aws:kms is set as sse_algorithm, default KMS key is used.
`overwrite`	Boolean	If this is set to true and a named file exists in the project where the alias is about to be created, the existing file will be deleted. default:false
