**Time to read**: 30-45 minutes

**Contains**:
- Architecture overview with diagram
- Authentication & API key management
- **Quick Start** (3-minute setup)
- **All 6 API Endpoints** documented:
  - GET `/api/v1/jobs/:jobId/sessions` — Session summary
  - GET `/api/v1/jobs/:jobId/sessions/:fileId/records` — Paginated GPS trace (with cursor)
  - GET `/api/v1/jobs/:jobId/areas` — GeoJSON spray areas
  - POST `/api/v1/jobs/:jobId/export` — Trigger async export
  - GET `/api/v1/exports/:exportId` — Poll status
  - GET `/api/v1/exports/:exportId/download` — Stream file
- Complete parameter/response documentation

  2. ArcGIS Map Automation (JavaScript)
  3. Data Warehouse Nightly Load (Bash)
- Error handling guide
- SLA commitments (99.5% uptime, 24h TTL)
- Support channels & response times
- Code examples (cURL, Python, JavaScript/Node.js)

**Key differentiators**:

### 2. **DATA_EXPORT_API_RATE_LIMITING.md** (DETAILED REFERENCE)
**For**: Everyone (customers, engineers, sales)  
**Length**: ~800 lines  
**Time to read**: 20-30 minutes

**Contains**:
- **Overview** of 3 protection mechanisms:
  1. Per-account rate limiting (not IP-based)
  2. Request deduplication (reuse within time window)
  3. File TTL/lifecycle management

- **Per-Account Rate Limiting** section:
  - Configuration (20 req/60min default)
  - HTTP response format (429, rate-limit headers)
  - **5 Scenarios**:
    - ✅ Within limit (multiple requests over time)
    - ❌ Rate limit exceeded (429 response)
    - ✅ Reuse ready export (cached, no wait)
    - ❌ Different params = new job
    - ✅ Reuse in-progress (within window)

- **Request Deduplication** section:
  - How it works (query logic explained)
  - Benefits (rate limit not consumed)
  - **3 Scenarios** with outcomes

- **File Lifecycle** section:
  - TTL configuration (24 hours default)
  - Timeline (request → ready → download → delete)
  - Multi-download support
  - Auto-cleanup on expiry

- **Best Practices**:
  - Dedup-aware workflow patterns
  - Batch request optimization
  - Rate limit planning for 100-job exports
  - Graceful 429 error handling with backoff

- **Monitoring & Troubleshooting**:
  - Checking remaining rate limit quota
  - Detecting deduplicated requests
  - Unix timestamp conversion

- **Reference** section:
  - Pseudo-code for dedup query logic

**Key differentiators**:
- Each scenario shows request/response pairs
- Includes time-based progression
- Shows rate-limit headers for each example
- Covers both happy path and error cases

### 3. **DATA_EXPORT_DOCUMENTATION_INDEX.md** (NAVIGATION HUB)
**For**: Internal and external teams finding their way  
**Length**: ~400 lines

**Contains**:
- **For Different Audiences**:
  - Customer Technical Teams (start with integration guide + rate limiting)
  - Internal Engineering (implementation, config, monitoring)
  - Sales & Account Managers (rate limit tiers, SLA, upgrade paths)

- **Complete Documentation Map**:
  - All 20+ export-related documents
  - One-sentence descriptions
  - Organized by purpose (API docs, implementation, architecture, operations)

- **Quick Navigation by Task** (8 scenarios):
  - "I'm integrating for the first time"
  - "I need to set up Power BI incremental refresh"
  - "I need to export data to ArcGIS"
  - "I need nightly bulk loads to data warehouse"
  - "I'm experiencing rate limit 429 errors"
  - "I'm debugging an export job failure"
  - "I need to understand the data model"
  - And more...

- **Key Concepts** (reference):
  - Authentication (API key format, NOT Bearer token!)
  - Rate limiting (per-account, 20/60min default)
  - Deduplication (same request within 5 mins)
  - File lifecycle (24-hour TTL)
  - Data units (metric vs US)

- **Support & Escalation**:

## 🎯 Rate Limiting Examples

### Example 1: Within Limit ✅

```bash
# Request 1 (14:00 UTC)
curl -X POST https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/12345/export \
  -H "X-API-Key: ak_test_..." \
  -d '{"format":"csv"}'

Response (202 Accepted):
{
  "exportId": "66f4a8c1...",
  "status": "pending"
}
Headers: RateLimit-Remaining: 19
```

```bash
# Request 2 (14:05 UTC) — still OK
Response: 202 Accepted, RateLimit-Remaining: 18
```

### Example 2: Rate Limit Exceeded ❌

```bash
# Assume 20 requests already made in past 60 minutes

curl -X POST https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/12347/export \
  -H "X-API-Key: ak_test_..." \
  -d '{"format":"csv"}'

Response (429 Too Many Requests):
RateLimit-Remaining: 0
Retry-After: 1800  # Wait 30 minutes

{
  "error": "Export rate limit exceeded. Please wait before requesting another export."
}
```

### Example 3: Deduplication (Reused Export) ✅

```bash
# Request 1 (14:00) — trigger
curl -X POST https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/12345/export \
  -H "X-API-Key: ak_test_..." \
  -d '{"format":"csv","units":"metric"}'

Response (202 Accepted): exportId: 66f4a8c1
```

```bash
# Request 2 (14:05, same params) — DEDUPLICATED
curl -X POST https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/12345/export \
  -H "X-API-Key: ak_test_..." \
  -d '{"format":"csv","units":"metric"}'

Response (200 OK — reused!):
{
  "exportId": "66f4a8c1",  # SAME ID
  "status": "ready",
  "reused": true           # Flag indicates dedup
}
RateLimit-Remaining: 19  # NOT consumed!
```

## 💡 Use Case Examples

### Power BI Incremental Refresh

```python
import requests
from datetime import datetime

def sync_to_powerbi(job_id, api_key):
    # Get sessions
    sessions = requests.get(
        f'https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/sessions',
        headers={'X-API-Key': api_key}
    ).json()
    
    for session in sessions['data']:
        file_id = session['sessionId']
        
        # Paginate records with cursor
        cursor = None
        while True:
            params = {'limit': 2000}
            if cursor:
                params['startingAfter'] = cursor
            
            page = requests.get(
                f'https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id}/sessions/{file_id}/records',
                params=params,
                headers={'X-API-Key': api_key}
            ).json()
            
            # Push to Power BI...
            
            if not page.get('hasMore'):
                break
            cursor = page.get('nextCursor')
```

### ArcGIS Map Layer Update

```javascript
const areas = await fetch(
  `https://api.agmission.com/api/v1/jobs/12345/areas`,
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': apiKey } }
).then(r => r.json());

const features = areas.features.map(f => ({
  geometry: f.geometry,
  attributes: {
    name: f.properties.name,
    type: f.properties.type,
    area_ha: f.properties.area_ha
  }
}));

// Add to ArcGIS feature service...
```

### Nightly Data Warehouse Load

```bash
#!/bin/bash
for job_id in 12345 12346 12347; do
  # Trigger export
  export_id=$(curl -s -X POST ".../jobs/${job_id}/export" \
    -H "X-API-Key: ${API_KEY}" \
    -d '{"format":"csv"}' | jq -r '.exportId')
  
  # Poll until ready...
  while [ "$(curl -s ".../exports/${export_id}?key=${API_KEY}" | jq -r '.status')" != "ready" ]; do
    sleep 5
  done
  
  # Download to S3
  curl -X GET ".../exports/${export_id}/download" \
    -H "X-API-Key: ${API_KEY}" \
    | aws s3 cp - "s3://bucket/spray_data/job${job_id}.csv"
done
```
