Exporting Data from a VB APP using cURL Command

Did you know that when exporting data from a VB app using the cURL command, you should include the Application ID, not the Application Name?

You can find the Application ID in the Application Settings.

The cURL command syntax is as follows:

curl -u userame VB-Instance-URL Application ID Application Version/resources/datamgr/export &gtyourappname.zip

Here’s a sample cURL command for exporting:

curl -u

nagma.mogal@ismartapps.io https://ia-vb-vb-lrtmn6xqvfpe.builder.uk-london-1.ocp.oraclecloud.com/ic/builder/design/ia_vb_empapp/1.0/resources/datamgr/export > vbempapp.zip

If you supply an incorrect Application ID or supply application name in the cURL command, you will encounter issues when opening the exported zip file, as below.
