Where are my backups?

From time to time we have customers who want to automate the download of backups.

We have an API that will expose the backup data (file locations, etc…) which will enable you to easilly automate this, and store the backups yourself.

The api is accessable by doing a HTTP GET to:

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.xml

or

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.json

As you can see the API will expose the backup data in XML or JSON format.

 

NOTE: you will need to pass your login credentials with the request.
