Introduction

Most SocialData API endpoints work synchronously, where you send a request and receive a response within a couple of seconds. However, certain requests, such as exporting a large number of followers, may require more processing time. These requests work asynchronously, meaning you submit a request, SocialData processes it and later uploads the resulting dataset to Amazon S3 bucket.

General workflow

All of the async endpoints listed below follow the same approach:

1. Create a job using one of the async endpoints below

2. Monitor job status either manually or using a webhook

3. Download dataset once the job is processed

Important: All files uploaded to the S3 bucket will be automatically deleted after 7 days. Once the files are deleted from the S3 bucket, they cannot be recovered.
