Exports
All export endpoints stream CSV files containing the authenticated user's data. They accept either a session cookie or a Bearer sync token, so mobile, native, and CLI clients can export data.
Endpoint table
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/exports/messages | Your messages as CSV. |
| GET | /api/exports/lists | Your list definitions (title, description, visibility) as CSV. The schema/columns are not included in this export. |
| GET | /api/exports/list-data-rows | Row data from all your lists as CSV. |
| GET | /api/exports/follows | Your followers and following relationships as CSV. |
Saving messages to a file
curl -s "https://interlinedlist.com/api/exports/messages" \
-H "Cookie: interlinedlist_session=<your-session-cookie>" \
-o my-messages.csv
In the browser, navigating to the URL while signed in triggers a file download (the server sets Content-Disposition: attachment).
What's included
| Endpoint | Columns (exact CSV header row) |
|---|---|
/api/exports/messages | ID, Content, Publicly Visible, Created At, Updated At |
/api/exports/lists | ID, Title, Description, Is Public, Created At, Updated At |
/api/exports/list-data-rows | ID, List ID, List Title, Row Data (JSON), Row Number, Created At, Updated At. The row's fields are not split into per-field columns; the whole rowData is emitted as one JSON string in Row Data (JSON). |
/api/exports/follows | ID, Relationship Type, Follower Username, Follower Display Name, Follower Email, Following Username, Following Display Name, Following Email, Status, Created At, Updated At |
All four exports include the authenticated user's content only. Exports of data you have access to but don't own (e.g. lists you watch) are not currently provided.
Format
UTF-8 CSV with header row. Fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines are quoted per RFC 4180. Timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC.
