This document covers the scenario where an App Center Test customer has a client whose data is on the same account. If this client requests their data be exported, App Center Test has APIs to satisfy this request. All the APIs detailed are public and documented in App Center Swagger.

Export Test Data for a client

When a client requires exporting their test reports, you may service this request using the following process:

1. Generate an API token.

2. Call the App Center Test API to acquire a list of all the test runs IDs owned by the client requesting deletion. You'll need the app name, and the owner (user or organization) name.

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test_runs
   

   GET https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/CompanyOrg1/AndroidApp1/test_runs
   

3. For each of the app IDs gathered in the previous step, make the following API call to export the data. This call returns all the files that have been uploaded for this app. The categories below for app test data.

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test/export
   

   GET https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/CompanyOrg1/AndroidApp1/test/export
   

   Test Export API subcalls

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test/export/testRuns
   

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test/export/pipelineTests
   

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test/export/hashFiles
   

   GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test/export/fileSetFiles
   

4. Aggregate all of the exported data to a file, send to customer.
