These instructions should not only be added to the result (if at all), but also 
to the API documentation.
As an API user I'd expect all information to be available in the written 
documentation, not in the API results.
I usually wouldn't look into the result of an API call for instructions on how 
to proceed further, but in the API docs, that's why I requested an update of 
the docs, not the result. :-)
Also it would produce unnecessary traffic, as then every export request will be 
bigger by those instructions that a backup script probably cannot use if it is 
targeted at a human reader. That's why I asked for a fix in the documentation. 
:-)

** [tickets:#6920] Include bulk_export_download_instructions in export API 
result**

**Status:** open
**Labels:** export allura-api 
**Created:** Tue Nov 26, 2013 06:39 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema
**Last Updated:** Thu Dec 05, 2013 05:36 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody

The `bulk_export_download_instructions` text that is included in emails after 
an export should also be included in the success API result for a bulk export.  
Then users of the API will have instructions handy and not have to do a manual 
export to get them via email.
