Data Extraction API

Overview

The Data Extraction API enables you to export data from Skills Workflow into external tools and systems—such as Excel, Power BI, or custom applications—by dynamically querying named data sets.

Purpose

The Data Extraction API is intended for reading and exporting data from Skills Workflow in a structured and efficient way. It is ideal for reporting, dashboards, and integration with external BI or analytics tools.

Use Cases

Export data from Skills Workflow to:

• Excel, Power BI, Google Sheets
• Custom dashboards or internal reporting systems
• Third-party analytics tools
• Automation tools like Zapier or Make (Integromat)
• Data warehouses or ETL pipelines

Key Limitations

• Read-only: This API does not support creating or updating records.
• Depends on predefined data sets.
• Pagination recommended: Use pagination (skip/take) for large queries to avoid timeouts or incomplete results.
• Rate limits may apply: For high-frequency requests, consider caching or batching.

Getting Started

Authentication

Before calling any endpoint, you must obtain the following credentials from our Support team:

• App Key (X-AppId)
• App Secret (X-AppSecret)
• Tenant ID (X-AppTenant)

These are provided by the support team upon request.

Include them in each request via HTTP headers:

X-AppTenant:  <X-AppTenant>
X-AppId:      <X-AppId>
X-AppSecret:  <X-AppSecret>
X-AppUser:    <UserId>     # Optional, if user-scoped filtering is required
Content-Type: application/json

Environments

The API is available in four environments, depending on your subscription plan:

• Development
• Test
• UAT
• Production

Each environment has its own base URL:

{{ApiUrl}}/api/v3/analytics

Postman Collection

To facilitate testing of the available queries, we provide a Postman collection file with all endpoints configured. You can download it from the link below:

Download Postman Collection - Data Extraction

After downloading, make sure to configure the variables {{ApiUrl}}, {{TenantId}}, {{AppId}}, {{AppSecret}}, and {{UserId}} according to the credentials you have been given.

Rate Limits

note

Each request must complete within 30 seconds.

• Apply filters to narrow the data set.
• Use pagination (skip / take) to retrieve large data sets in chunks.

Filtering Data

To flexibly extract data, use the queryBuilder object in your POST body. It supports:

Property	Type	Description
skip	integer	Number of records to skip (for pagination).
take	integer	Maximum number of records to return.
orderBy	array	List of { field, direction } objects to sort results.
fields	array	List of field names to include in the response.
filters	array	Complex filters combining expressions, e.g. [["Status","=","Open"],"and",["Priority",">",2]].

Filter Operations

The following table lists available filter operations by data type. The Query Builder uses the first operation in each array as the default operation for the specified data type.

Data Type	Filter Operations
string	contains, notcontains, startswith, endswith, =, <>, isblank, isnotblank
numeric	=, <>, <, >, <=, >=, between, isblank, isnotblank
date, datetime	=, <>, <, >, <=, >=, between, isblank, isnotblank
boolean	=, <>, isblank, isnotblank
object	isblank, isnotblank

{
  "queryBuilder": {
    "skip": 0,
    "take": 100,
    "orderBy": [
      { "field": "UserId", "direction": "asc" }
    ],
    "fields": ["Team", "UserId"],
    "filters": [
      ["Team", "=", "Executor"],
      "or",
      ["Team", "=", "Requester"]
    ]
  }
}

Discovering Available Fields

To know which fields you can request, perform an initial call with only pagination:

POST {{ApiUrl}}/api/v3/analytics/named-query/DE-Clients/dynamic-execute
Headers:
  X-AppTenant: <TenantId>
  X-AppId:     <AppKey>
  X-AppSecret: <AppSecret>
Body:
{
  "queryBuilder": {
    "skip": 0,
    "take": 100
  }
}

This returns up to 100 records and reveals all available properties in the response schema, which you can then reference in subsequent queryBuilder.fields and queryBuilder.filters.

---

Endpoints

The collection includes several dynamic-execute endpoints, each under:

POST /api/v3/analytics/named-query/{NamedQuery}/dynamic-execute

Where {NamedQuery} is one of:

    // …
  ],
  "totalCount": 124
}

Scheduled Data Extraction

You can configure Schedules in Skills Workflow to automate recurring data exports.

This method is ideal for generating files (e.g., CSV) that can be directly consumed by external tools such as Power BI, Excel, Tableau, and others.

Overview

Schedules allow you to:

• Define a Query to extract data (same data source as the API).
• Choose an export Format (e.g., .csv).
• Set a Cron Expression to determine when the export should occur.

Once scheduled, the system will run the query at the specified time and generate a downloadable file.

Configuration Example

Here’s a configuration example of a schedule set up to export timesheet data every day at 5:00 AM UTC:

Schedule Configuration Screenshot

The above screenshot shows the “DE-TimeSheets” query being scheduled to export daily.

Cron Expression

The Cron Expression (UTC) field defines when the job should run. For example:

5 0 * * *

This runs the job daily at 5:00 AM UTC.

Best Practice

We recommend running schedules outside working hours to minimize system load and ensure the data is complete.
