Response

Success Response (200 OK)

The response returns a file download with the analytics data in the requested format.

Excel File (.xlsx/.xls)

Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet (xlsx) or application/vnd.ms-excel (xls)
Content: Multi-sheet Excel file with comprehensive analytics data
Sheets: Multiple sheets with different analytics views

CSV File (.csv)

Content-Type: text/csv
Content: Comma-separated values with analytics data
Structure: Single file with all analytics data

The export endpoint returns a file download. Make sure your application can handle binary file responses and provide appropriate download functionality to users.

Excel files (.xlsx/.xls) provide the most comprehensive data structure with multiple sheets, while CSV files are better for simple data analysis and integration with other tools.

Large date ranges or many QR codes may result in large file sizes. Consider breaking down exports into smaller chunks if needed.

Integration Examples

JavaScript - Export Analytics

async function exportAnalytics(qrCodes, fromDate, toDate, format = 'xlsx') {
  try {
    const formData = new FormData();
    
    // Add QR code IDs
    qrCodes.forEach(qrId => {
      formData.append('q', qrId);
    });
    
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://management.scanova.io/analytics/export/?from=${fromDate}&to=${toDate}&file_format=${format}`,
      {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
        },
        body: formData
      }
    );
    
    if (response.ok) {
      // Get the file blob
      const blob = await response.blob();
      
      // Create download link
      const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
      const a = document.createElement('a');

Notes

✅ Supports bulk analytics export for multiple QR codes at once.
⚙️ Recommended file format:
- .xlsx for visualization/reporting
- .csv for integration or automation pipelines
📅 Data range can span multiple months, depending on account plan limits.
⏱️ Large exports may take a few seconds to generate — consider background processing for high-volume requests.
