# exportJobDownload

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

Get a short-lived link to download the file a finished export wrote — its name, size, row count and format come with it.

Download ONE finished background export's FILE: a short-lived presigned GET (alive 300 s — `expiresAt`) on the composed file, the name to save it as (`fileName` — <family>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>-<sysId>.<csv|jsonl>), and the file's facts off the record (`bytes` · `rowCount` · `format` · `partial` — true when the run halted before the end and the file holds what was written). The file lives 7 days from the finish; afterwards NOT_FOUND worded expired (the record stays readable). YOURS ALONE: only the job's OWNER may download — anyone else refuses AUTHZ/FORBIDDEN — and YOUR OWN right to list the plan's last family is re-checked (refused AUTHZ/FORBIDDEN naming it); a job that is not done (cancelled · expired · failed) refuses CONFLICT/REF_STATE naming its status; a job outside your tenant, or none at all, is NOT_FOUND. Requires authentication (user sessions).

## What happens

Read-only: only the person who started the export can download it, and only while they may still list that kind of record. The link lives five minutes; the file is kept for seven days after the export finishes, then it is gone and the download says so.
