Does the API's dataset/export method work?

I'm building a PHP client library for Domo, and I'm currently having trouble with one of the endpoints. Specifically:

• API Docs: https://developer.domo.com/portal/3b1e3a7d5f420-data-set-api
• Endpoint: /v1/datasets/{dataset_id}/data
• Method: GET

According to the documentation, if I call that endpoint with the GUID of a dataset, it should return CSV content to me in the response body. Optionally, I can include headers and set a filename. However, no matter what I do, I'm only getting HTTP 406 ("Not Acceptable") errors.

Is this a known issue with the API, or is there something I need to do differently?

Are you passing in the Accept header to tell it what type of content you're willing to accept? I'm assuming you're wanting CSV so passing in "text/csv" as your Accept value would be what you want.

@GrantSmith I'll give that a go, thanks! Didn't think to try that.

That was the answer! I set Content-Type to application/json and Accept to text/csv and it exported normally. Thank you!
