About the Bulk Downloads API

The Bulk Downloads API allows you to initiate a download process for a group of entities from the Get Paid APIs. The download process creates a .zip file that's available to download using a returned download URL.

With the Bulk Downloads API, you can:

  • Initiate a bulk download.
  • Retrieve a bulk download.
  • Delete a bulk download.

Before you begin

It's important to note the following before starting to code:

  • The Bulk Download API only works with entities in the Get Paid APIs. Currently, only entities in the receipts namespace are supported.
  • Once a download is started, a .zip file is created in the Wix Media platform which can then be downloaded using the downloadUrl returned in the response.
  • The .zip file exists for 24 hours after its creation before it's deleted.
  • A maximum of 100 entities can be included in a bulk download.

Use case

Terminology

  • Bulk download: An entity that contains information about the files to download and the URL to use to download the generated .zip file that contains those files.
