Hi there everyone,

I am attempting to automate the exporting of content as a zip file using Invoke-RestMethod to "$AriaOpsURL/suite-api/api/content/operations/export", but not able to submit a job successfully using the built-in local admin. I am able to obtain a authentication token but receiving the error message "Page Not Found" "We apologize. The address you are pointing to doesn't exist." after a job submission. From my logs, getting the following: 

2025-08-14 15:03:28 - Submitting export job
2025-08-14 15:03:28 - Export job submission failed. Response: {
