# Retrieve the export map

GET https://api.spreadspace.app/api/chart-of-accounts/export-map

Retrieves the workspace's active export map: for each chart account it maps, the account's code in the export system and, where the map gives one, its name there, in order of account id. Until an export map is saved, `system` is null and `entries` is empty. Requires a plan that includes spreads; other plans get a 403.

Requires the `chart_of_accounts:read`, `chart_of_accounts:write` or `extractions:read` scope. Rate limit: 200 requests per minute per key (the `api` lane).

Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/chart-of-accounts/get-export-map

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer token. Use `ss_live_…` for live data or `ss_test_…` for the sandbox (test mode). See [Authentication](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/authentication).

## Request

### Headers

- `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-07-19`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning).

## Response

### 200

OK

- `entries` (list of ChartOfAccountsExportMapEntryDto, required) — One entry per mapped account, in order of account id. Empty until an export map is saved.
- `system` (string, optional, nullable) — The export system the map belongs to, the workspace's active one. Null until an export map is saved.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad request: validation failed, the cursor is malformed, or the API version is unknown.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized: the bearer token or API key is missing or invalid.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 402 Payment Required Error

Payment required: the standard error envelope with `type` `subscription_required` when the workspace has no active or trialing subscription, or `billing_required` where a plan entitlement applies.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden: authentication succeeded but the caller is not permitted to perform this action, for example an API key missing the required scope, an embed session reaching a loan it was not minted for, or a feature outside the workspace's plan.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not found: the resource does not exist or is not visible to the calling tenant.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests: the rate limit was hit, or an idempotency-key replay is still in progress.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal server error: an unexpected failure. Quote the `request_id` in support tickets. A mutation sent with an `Idempotency-Key` replays this fault under that key rather than re-running; confirm the resource state before resending with a new key.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

## Types

### ChartOfAccountsExportMapEntryDto

One chart account's code and name in an export system.

- `account_id` (string, required) — The chart account's id: `pl`, `bs` or `cf` followed by dotted lowercase segments, such as `pl.opex.rent`, or, for an account the workspace added, `t:` followed by up to 48 lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. The `tree` of a statement mapping lists the accounts in force with their ids.
- `external_code` (string, required) — The account's code in the export system: 1 to 64 letters, digits, dots, underscores, colons or hyphens.
- `external_label` (string, optional, nullable) — The account's name in the export system, 200 characters or fewer. Null when it has none.

### ApiErrorBody

Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

- `type` (string, required) — Stable error type identifier. Pattern-match on this value, not the human-readable message.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message. Subject to wording changes; do not parse.
- `request_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Per-request correlation ID (matches `X-Request-ID` response header). Quote in support tickets.
- `details` (map from string to string, optional, nullable) — Structured detail. Some error types populate documented keys in every environment: a version conflict (409) carries `current_version`, the version the resource is actually at, so the client can reload and re-apply. Free-form diagnostic detail beyond those keys appears in development environments only. An `insufficient_credits` 402 carries `balance_usd`, `reserved_usd`, `in_flight_docs`, `incoming_docs` and `per_doc_reservation_usd` as decimal strings.
