Export & integrations

On this page

Your data is yours. dembrane gives you several ways to get conversations, transcripts, and analysis back out - for archiving, for feeding another tool, or for building your own integration. This page covers the programmatic export endpoints and the patterns around them.

For the host-facing, button-driven version of the same capability, see export & data portability. This page is the developer reference; if you’d rather be pushed events than pull them, see webhooks.

Note

Export endpoints are part of the authenticated API. Send a Directus token with the workspace permission to export (workspace:export, an admin/owner capability). Exporting from the participant side is the participant report flow instead.

Transcript zip (whole project)

Export every conversation in a project as a zip of per-conversation Markdown files:

GET /api/projects/{pid}/transcripts
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Returns a zip archive - one Markdown file per conversation, each containing that conversation’s transcript. This is the simplest way to take a full point-in-time copy of a project’s spoken record.

curl -L https://YOUR-API-HOST:8000/api/projects/$PID/transcripts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -o project-transcripts.zip

Per-conversation transcript (plain text)

For a single conversation, fetch the transcript as plain text:

GET /api/conversations/{cid}/transcript
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Useful when you want to stream one conversation into another system as it finishes - pair it with a conversation.summarized webhook to grab each transcript at the moment it’s ready, rather than polling.

CSV / Excel

The host dashboard’s integrations screen produces CSV and Excel exports of conversations and their metadata, alongside the transcript zip. These are the tabular companions to the Markdown export - the right shape when you’re loading into a spreadsheet, a BI tool, or a data warehouse.

Tip

Use the Markdown/transcript exports when you care about the content (the words), and the CSV/Excel exports when you care about the structure (which conversations exist, their tags, timestamps, and status). Many integrations pull both: the CSV for the index, the zip for the bodies.

Reports

Reports are generated artifacts assembled from a project’s conversations (a two-phase fan-out-then-generate job - see the processing pipeline). A finished report can be exported to PDF from the dashboard, and the report.generated webhook tells your systems the moment one is ready to fetch. See reports for the host-facing view.

Programmatic export patterns

A few patterns that hold up well:

Important

Exports can contain personal data. The transcript correction pass redacts PII by default (unless DISABLE_REDACTION is set - see configuration), but you remain responsible for how you store and process exported data. Review data ownership & compliance.
