The Voiceflow API export endpoint allows users to retrieve their assistant files in a format that can be used by other systems or tools. To use this feature, users need to obtain an API key and version ID, which are found in the Voiceflow Creator platform. The export endpoint provides two file formats: `.vf` (containing all information about the assistant) and `.vfr` (a more concise version). Users can make API calls using a specific endpoint and parameters, such as `prototype=true`, to retrieve the files. The JSON structure of the exported file includes three parts: Project, Version, and Diagram, which contain metadata associated with the team/workspace, version information, and diagram data, respectively. This feature enables users to efficiently fetch assistant files and integrate them with other systems, paving the way for custom integrations and automations tailored to their specific needs.
