New custom time-to-live for export API URLs

Improved

We've made it easier to manage the security of your data exports by implementing a configurable, shorter time-to-live (TTL) for the presigned URLs created by the Export API (application programming interface). Now, when you use the Export API, you can limit how long the download link remains active by passing a value between 0 and 3,600 to the url_expiration_seconds attribute. Once the timeout expires, the CSV data can no longer be downloaded, and you'll need to start a new export.

We understand that some security policies require a shorter expiration time for temporary download links containing sensitive data than the default time we provide. This update gives you the control to align the Export API's presigned URL expiration with your organization's specific security and compliance requirements.

This enhancement affects all users who utilize the Export API to generate CSV data. This change is optional: your existing Export API integrations will continue to work without modification, using the default link expiration time. If you require a shorter link expiry, you can simply add the url_expiration_seconds attribute to your export request with a value from 0 to 3,600 seconds.
