Archiving a Video

You can archive any recorded video using the /export API. This creates an export job that processes the video and saves it in the archive for long-term storage or downloading to your local machine.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.c030.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/exports \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "type": "video",
  "period": {
    "startTimestamp": "2023-03-19T09:08:07.542Z",
    "endTimestamp": "2023-03-20T09:08:07.542Z"
  },
  "info": {
    "directory": "/exports",
    "name": "sun_going_under_on_the_7th"

request.AddJsonBody("{\"type\":\"video\",\"period\":{\"startTimestamp\":\"2023-03-19T09:08:07.542Z\",\"endTimestamp\":\"2023-03-20T09:08:07.542Z\"},\"info\":{\"name\":\"sun_going_under_on_the_7th\",\"directory\":\"/exports\"},\"deviceId\":\"10058b7a\"}", false);

const url = 'https://api.c030.eagleeyenetworks.com/api/v3.0/exports';
const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {accept: 'application/json', 'content-type': 'application/json'},
  body: JSON.stringify({
    type: 'video',
    period: {
      startTimestamp: '2023-03-19T09:08:07.542Z',
      endTimestamp: '2023-03-20T09:08:07.542Z'
    },
    info: {name: 'sun_going_under_on_the_7th', directory: '/exports'},
    deviceId: '10058b7a'
  })
};

fetch(url, options)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

On success, the response includes the ID of the new export job. The job will process asynchronously, and you can check its status using the /exports/{id} endpoint.

{
  "id": "f2d4ad7b-bada-4c44-9f70-9c4b85e46b7d"
}

📘
Note
The id of the export job is not the same as the id of the archived file. To identify the file id, you need to wait for the job to complete and then call the /files with query parameters that match the directory and name you specified in the request above.
