This API is for large-scale, offline access to audit data. Only one export job is processed per tenant at a time, and each export has a record limit, for example, up to 5 million rows per report. Use the returned requestId with the "Retrieve the list of export jobs for a meter" API operation to track the job status and retrieve the generated file names from `fileList`, then download them using the "Retrieve the presigned URL for an export job" API operation. Reference: https://zuora.ferndocs.com/developers/api-reference/zuora-api/mediation/audit-trail/create-audit-trail-export-job ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Use `Bearer {{token}}` in the `Authorization` header for authentication. ## Servers - `https://rest.test.zuora.com` (US Developer & Central Sandbox (incl. Test Drive), default) - `https://rest.sandbox.na.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 1) - `https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 2) - `https://rest.na.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 1) - `https://rest.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 2) - `https://rest.test.eu.zuora.com` (EU Developer & Central Sandbox) - `https://rest.sandbox.eu.zuora.com` (EU API Sandbox) - `https://rest.eu.zuora.com` (EU Production) - `https://rest.test.ap.zuora.com` (APAC Developer & Central Sandbox) - `https://rest.ap.zuora.com` (APAC Production) ## Request ### Path parameters - `meterId` (long, required) — The ID of the meter. ### Query parameters - `exportType` (enum, required) — Type of the export. `SAMPLE` indicates an export of success records, `ERROR` indicates an export of error records. - Allowed values: `SAMPLE`, `ERROR` - `runType` (enum, required) — Specifies the type of run. `DEBUG` indicates a test run, `NORMAL` indicates a live run. - Allowed values: `DEBUG`, `NORMAL` - `sessionIds` (list of string, optional) — A list of specific run IDs to export. For example, `R-000001, R-000002`. - `runStatuses` (list of string, optional) — Filters audit entries by their run status. If omitted, all statuses are included. Statuses are case-sensitive. Possible values: - NEVER_RUN - TESTING - TESTING_FAILED - TESTING_PASSED - RUNNING - PAUSED - COMPLETED - FAILED - CANCELED - INITIALIZING - USAGE_PUSHING - PUSH_COMPLETED - CONSUME_COMPLETED - `operatorIds` (list of string, optional) — A list of operator IDs to filter by. The Operator ID is displayed for each operator node, for both current meters and historic runs. On the Mediation UI, click on a test ID or session ID to see the details of the run. - `queryFromTime` (string, required) — The minimum timestamp for the data to be exported. The standard used is ISO 8601 with timezones. - `queryToTime` (string, required) — The maximum timestamp for the data to be exported. The standard used is ISO 8601 with timezones. - `format` (enum, optional, default: csv) — Required format for the exported data. Supported values are: - `csv`: Row-based CSV output - `parquet`: Columnar Parquet output - `avro`: Avro output If omitted, `csv` is used by default for backward compatibility. - Allowed values: `csv`, `parquet`, `avro` - `compression` (enum, optional, default: none) — Optional compression algorithm applied to the exported file(s). Supported values are: - `none`: No compression (default) - `gzip`: GZIP compression - `lz4`: LZ4 compression - `zstd`: Zstandard compression If omitted, `none` is used and the export produces an uncompressed file. When a compression value other than `none` is specified, the generated export files are stored in compressed form and must be decompressed by the client after download. - Allowed values: `none`, `gzip`, `lz4`, `zstd` ### Headers - `Accept-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response. If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a `Content-Encoding` header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it. - `Content-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload. - `Zuora-Entity-Ids` (string, optional) — An entity ID. If you have [Zuora Multi-entity](https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/BB_Introducing_Z_Business/Multi-entity) enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you should not set this header. - `Zuora-Org-Ids` (string, optional) — Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header. The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails. This header is important in Multi-Org (MO) setups because it defines the organization context under which the API should operate—mainly used for read access or data visibility filtering. If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs. - `Zuora-Track-Id` (string, optional) — A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue. The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), double quote (`"`), and quote (`'`). ## Response ### 200 OK - `success` (boolean, optional) — Indicates whether the request was successful. - `data` (map from string to ExportAuditTrailResponseData, optional) — List of audit trail entries for the specified meter. Each object represents a recorded event or operation associated with the meter. - `previousPage` (string, optional) — Cursor for the previous page of audit records, if available. Used for backward pagination. - `nextPage` (string, optional) — Cursor for the next page of audit records, if available. Used for forward pagination. - `error` (Error, optional) — Container for error information returned by the API when the request fails. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Bad Request - Invalid or missing parameters. - `errors` (list of ProxyBadRequestResponseErrorsItems, optional) - `success` (boolean, optional) ### 401 Unauthorized Error Unauthorized - Authentication failed. - `success` (boolean, optional) — Whether the API request has succeeded or not. - `data` (MediationErrorResponseData, optional) — Detailed response information for successful requests (e.g., instance info, job details). - `error` (MediationErrorResponseError, optional) — Contains error details when the request fails. ### 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error - Unexpected error. - `reasons` (list of ErrorResponseReasonsItems, optional) ## Types ### ExportAuditTrailResponseData Stores extra or custom fields that are not defined in the main schema. ### Error - `code` (string, optional) — Machine-readable error code identifying the failure type. - `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable description of the error that provides more context about what went wrong. - `detail` (ErrorDetail, optional) — Additional structured details about the error, such as validation issues or parameter-specific information. ### ProxyBadRequestResponseErrorsItems - `code` (string, optional) — Machine-readable error code identifying the failure type. - `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable description of the error that provides more context about what went wrong. ### MediationErrorResponseData Detailed response information for successful requests (e.g., instance info, job details). - `id` (string, optional) — The instance ID. - `sessionId` (string, optional) — The session ID of the meter instance. - `jobId` (string, optional) — The job ID of the meter instance. - `meterId` (integer, optional) — The ID of the meter. - `version` (string, optional) — The meter version. - `revision` (string, optional) — The meter revision. - `runType` (integer, optional) — The run type of the instance. - `runTypeDescription` (string, optional) — The description of the run type. - `startTime` (string, optional) — The start time of the instance. - `status` (integer, optional) — The job status of the instance. - `statusDescription` (string, optional) — The status description of the instance. - `canExportSummary` (boolean, optional) — Whether the instance can export summary information (internal usage). - `hasLineageEnabled` (boolean, optional) — Whether lineage is enabled for the meter (internal usage). ### MediationErrorResponseError Contains error details when the request fails. - `code` (string, optional) — The error reason code (e.g., "70002006" for authorization errors). - `message` (string, optional) — A human-readable description of the error. ### ErrorResponseReasonsItems - `code` (string, optional) — The error code of response. - `message` (string, optional) — The detail information of the error response ### ErrorDetail Additional structured details about the error, such as validation issues or parameter-specific information. ## Examples **Response** ```json { "success": true, "data": { "requestId": "cd3367fb-019d-4600-863f-07c51b7c9e10" } } ``` **SDK Code** ```python Audit Trail_createAuditTrailExportJob_example import requests url = "https://rest.test.zuora.com/meters/1/auditTrail/export" querystring = {"exportType":"SAMPLE","queryFromTime":"2025-07-01T00:00:00+0530","queryToTime":"2025-07-01T00:00:00+0530","runType":"DEBUG"} headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer "} response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, params=querystring) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript Audit Trail_createAuditTrailExportJob_example const url = 'https://rest.test.zuora.com/meters/1/auditTrail/export?exportType=SAMPLE&queryFromTime=2025-07-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B0530&queryToTime=2025-07-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B0530&runType=DEBUG';
