Exporting via API

What is API Data Export?

API Data Export allows you to programmatically export data from your Tadabase application using the API. This feature is essential for creating automated, scheduled backups of critical business data, which is especially useful for Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP).

How does it work?

Using API calls, you can extract your application’s data in a structured format (typically JSON or CSV) and store it in external systems or cloud storage solutions. This process can be automated using scripting tools, such as Python with AWS Lambda, to perform recurring exports at regular intervals.

Why use API Data Export for DR/BCP?

1. Automated Backups: Ensure your data is always backed up without manual intervention.
2. Data Integrity: Regular exports provide a reliable snapshot of your data, critical in the event of system failure.
3. Offsite Storage: Exports can be stored in external locations, offering protection against localized outages or data corruption.
4. Seamless Recovery: In the event of a disaster, your exported data can be easily restored into your systems, ensuring minimal downtime.

This method ensures that you always have access to the latest data in case of an emergency, helping safeguard your business operations.
