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: {

Please kindly advice how I could get around this issue? Happy to provide more information to work towards resolution.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

The best way around this issue was to use the "local" authentication method with the local user having content admin role.
