Set Up a New Subscription

Endpoint: POST /scheduled-exports/logs/subscribe

Set up a new scheduled log export subscription. Supported at both app and org level. The result is a subscription that specifies what data will be exported (e.g. topic, columns, filters) and where data will be exported to (e.g. email addresses, your cloud data bucket, a Branch-hosted S3 bucket).

NOTE: In order to prevent duplicate active subscriptions being created accidentally, we will throw an error if you attempt to create a subscription that exactly matches an existing subscription based on the following values: subscription_type, report_type, app_id or organization_id, fields, filter, cadence. Even re-ordering the values in fields is enough to bypass this check and create a new subscription.

New Subscription with Data Stored in Branch's S3 Bucket

For this type of subscription, you'll set destination.subscription_type = "branch".

Get Details on Individual Export Job

Endpoint: GET /scheduled-exports/logs/subscription/{subscription_id}/job/{job_id}

Scheduled exports run at a regular cadence. Each individual run is considered a "job" and has a "job Id". You can get details on an individual job via this endpoint, as long as you know the subscription_id and the job_id. This includes where data was exported to (e.g. email addresses, your data center, a Branch-hosted S3 bucket).

If you do not know the job_id and are instead trying to discover jobs associated with the subscription, see the next section: Get details on many export jobs.
