# Create User Data Export

`POST /users/me/data-export`

Kick off a GDPR Subject Access Request (SAR) export for the caller.

Enqueues a background worker that zips the caller's personal data into
the user-exports S3 bucket. One non-expired export per user per 24h; a
request inside that window returns 429 with ``Retry-After`` set from
the existing job.

Args:
    auth: Authenticated user context.

Returns:
    202 Accepted with the job id and initial ``pending`` status.

Raises:
    HTTPException: 429 inside the 24h rate-limit window; 500 on failure.

## Response `202`

Successful Response

- CreateDataExportResponse — Response to ``POST /users/me/data-export``. Attributes: job_id: UUID of the newly created (or already-running) export job. status: ``pending``, or ``running`` if the worker claimed the row before the response was assembled. Clients poll ``GET /users/me/data-export/{job_id}`` until ``ready`` or ``failed``.
  - `job_id` string, required — UUID of the export job.
  - `status` 'pending' | 'running' | 'ready' | 'expired' | 'failed', required — Lifecycle state of the export job.
