Export Resources

Use the export API to retrieve ThunderID resources in two delivery formats:

• POST /export: returns a JSON object.
• POST /export/zip: returns a ZIP archive of individual files.

JSON Response Shape

POST /export returns this payload:

{
  "resources": "# File: My_App.yaml\napiVersion: thunder/v1\n...",
  "environment_variables": "MY_APP_CLIENT_ID=\nMY_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=\n"
}

Field behavior:

• resources: Combined YAML output for all exported resources, with # File: headers and --- separators.
• environment_variables: environment file content with one empty assignment per detected template variable.

If the export has no template variables, environment_variables is an empty string.

ZIP Export Behavior

POST /export/zip includes one file per exported resource. When template variables are detected, the ZIP root includes a generated environment file.

Example ZIP contents when template variables are detected:

export.zip
├── applications/
│   └── my-app.yaml
├── flows/
│   └── login-flow.yaml
└── .env

Generated environment file semantics:

• fileName: Always .env.
• content: Same key/value lines returned by environment_variables in JSON exports.
• size: Byte length of the generated content.

If no template variables are detected, the ZIP export omits .env.

Internal API Model Reference

The API reference schema also defines an internal ExportResponse model (see ExportResponse.envFile, backed by the EnvironmentFile schema/struct):

{
  "files": [
    {
      "fileName": "google-idp.yaml",
      "content": "resource_type: connection\ntype: google\n...",
      "size": 128
    }
  ],
  "envFile": {
    "fileName": ".env",
    "content": "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=\nGOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=\n",
    "size": 40
  },
  "summary": {
    "totalFiles": 2,
    "totalSizeBytes": 168
  }
}

When no template variables are detected, envFile is omitted (or null in internal JSON serialization paths), and ZIP output does not include .env.

Format Option

In options.format, only yaml is currently supported for generated resource content.
