Starts a read-only export of one accounting organisation's data (Xero, Sage, or Reckon). Costs $39 per organisation: when payment is outstanding the response is status 'awaiting_payment' with a Stripe checkoutUrl for the user to complete in a browser, and the export begins once that payment settles. This is not a status endpoint: it reports only the state at creation, and repeat calls return the existing export for that organisation rather than creating or charging for a second one. Export progress is reported by get_export_status, and newly created exports appear in list_exports. A typical export runs for hours, and pauses whenever it meets a provider rate limit or Boxkite's egress budget — anything from under a minute to the next UTC day. get_export_status reports when it resumes.
