Data Export Tool - Case Properties

Users
1

Hello. I'm attempting to use the CommCare data export tool to retrieve the
cases from my CommCare project. I followed the directions in the tutorial
and I was able to retrieve all of the properties that I created for the
app. However, I am unable to get all of the hidden information that I
assume every case has. Is there a definitive list of source fields for case
properties anywhere? The only list of case properties that I am able to
find is the one given when doing a custom export of cases via the
CommCareHQ site. Some of these I am able to retrieve using the export tool,
such as 'case_id', 'user_id', and 'closed'. Unfortunately, I'm unable to
get things like 'closed_by_username', 'owner_name', and 'opened_date' (just
to name a few). I have read through the List Cases documentation
(List Cases (version 3+) - CommCare Public - CommCare Public), but
it wasn't quite what I was looking for either. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Hey,

You should hit those APIs directly in a browser to see the full set of
supported fields and structure of the data.

thanks,
Cory
