Download Data Files

Data can be exported in multiple formats, controlled by the API version.

· 1.0 = html

· 1.1 = csv

· 1.2 = comma delimited with sequence numbers (output as .txt format)

· 1.3 = pipe delimited

· 1.4 = tab delimited with sequence numbers

· 1.5 = EDI X12 834 message format

· 1.6 = SQLlite database

· 1.7 = ALIGHT file format (health insurance enrollments)

The format of the download API for methods 1.0 through 1.4 and 1.6 is http://<server:port>/core/<api_version>/API/project/<project_name>/<project_version>/datablocks/<data_block_name>/<data_block_version>/

Methods 1.5 and 1.7 have their own download format which will be covered in the applicable section.

These files can be requested manually by placing the API call in a browser window, or using automation programs. The examples below show the output in a viewable editor format, but these files can be pulled into an automation program instead of viewing them manually.
