How to find and export your AccuLynx data for AI training

01

What is AccuLynx data, and why do AI labs and data vendors buy it?

What an AccuLynx account records

AccuLynx organizes work as jobs and the contacts attached to them. Each job passes through milestones, the named stages of a sale, which run from lead to prospect, approved, completed, invoiced and closed. The account records the lead source (where the customer first came from) and the reason a lead was marked dead when it never turned into work.

Alongside the jobs sit permits, supplements (extra amounts an insurance company agrees to pay beyond its first estimate), material orders, accounts receivable (money customers still owe), photos and documents.

Why a roofing job teaches an AI model something

An AI model learns by studying a very large number of examples and finding the patterns in them, and those examples are called training data. A lead that ended as dead shows what did not work, and a job that reached closed shows the whole path to a paid roof. Years of both show how roofing and exterior jobs get won, lost and finished.

AI labs now also want to train AI agents, software that carries out a job step by step, and an agent learns a job from records of that job being done. The full mechanism is in AI training data: why AI companies want your company's data.

How AccuLynx fits into a dataset

AccuLynx is usually one of several apps in a company's dataset, next to email, accounting and customer records. Companies are paid $100K to $2M or more per dataset, according to micro1, the data vendor we typically refer companies to. The price covers the whole dataset, not each app on its own, and what your data is worth explains what moves it.

Where does AccuLynx show how much data you have?

Route one: count the rows in a report

AccuLynx sells a reporting package called ReportsPlus, which includes a library of pre-built reports covering job milestones, permits, supplements, accounts receivable, materials, dead leads and estimates. The steps below use it.

1. Open the reports area in AccuLynx and choose a jobs report from the pre-built library.
2. Set the dates to cover your whole history. If you are unsure which report lists every job, ask AccuLynx support.
3. Count the rows on screen, or schedule the report to be emailed to you as a file and count the rows there.

Route two: read the exact count from the API

An API (application programming interface) is a way for one program to ask another for data directly. AccuLynx's Get Jobs and Get Contacts listings return a count field that holds the total number of items matching the request, so a developer can read your totals without downloading every record.

1. Sign in to AccuLynx and open the API keys page at my.acculynx.com/apikeys. Create a key and give it a name.
2. A developer sends a request to https://api.acculynx.com/api/v2/jobs with the key as a Bearer token, using a small pageSize.
3. The developer reads count from the response, then repeats the request for /contacts.

Which plans and roles you need

According to AccuLynx, only its own customers can hold API keys, which you create and manage on the API keys page of your account. Its public pages do not say which user roles can run the full report library or create keys, or which plans include ReportsPlus, so ask AccuLynx support before you plan around either.

03

What should you know about your AccuLynx data before you apply?

The record count

The record count is the number of jobs plus the number of contacts, taken from a report or from the API's count field. Say which of the two you used.

The years of history

Use the created date of your oldest job. The Get Jobs listing returns jobs sorted by created date from oldest to newest unless a developer asks for another order, so its first record is normally the oldest job.

The number of seats

A seat is one person with their own login. Count the AccuLynx users on your subscription, including office staff, sales representatives and production crews who sign in.

What you don't need to do first

You don't need to export anything to apply, and you don't need to clean or scrub records. The data vendor anonymizes the records before anyone else sees them, and nothing moves until a lawyer-reviewed license is signed. The application, the intro call and each later step are laid out in how to sell your company's data.

How do you export your full AccuLynx history?

Route one: scheduled reports

Any report can be set to arrive by email automatically, and you choose the recipients, the file format, the frequency, and the day and time, as the ReportsPlus page describes.

1. Open each report you want, starting with the jobs report and adding any contact, estimate or accounts receivable report your office relies on.
2. Choose the columns you need, because a report carries only the columns you choose.
3. Schedule the report for email delivery and pick the recipients, file format, frequency, day and time.
4. Save the files when they arrive.

Route two: the API, for full records

This route needs a developer, and AccuLynx does not teach how to use its API: it tells customers to work with their own developer. The key is created and named on the API keys page, as AccuLynx's getting started page explains.

1. Create and name a key at my.acculynx.com/apikeys.
2. Call GET /jobs on https://api.acculynx.com/api/v2 with the key as a Bearer token. The listing returns at most 25 jobs per page, set by pageSize, and starts where pageStartIndex says.
3. Raise pageStartIndex by the page size on each request, until the number of records retrieved reaches the count field.
4. Do the same for GET /contacts.

A request that asks for a position beyond the data returns a 416 error, which tells the developer to check count. For a very large account, the jobs listing also accepts startDate and endDate, so the history can be pulled one period at a time. AccuLynx's rate limits allow 10 requests per second per key.

What the exports leave out

Reports and the job listing carry job fields, not files. The photos and documents attached to each job are not part of report files, so ask AccuLynx support how to get them in bulk.

What stays private when AccuLynx data is licensed?

You choose what is in scope

A company can leave insurance claim details and payment data out of the reports it approves for export, and it can share jobs while holding contacts back. The data vendor also deletes records too sensitive to clean safely instead of anonymizing them.

Names are replaced before a lab sees them

Anonymization means replacing every detail that identifies a person or a place, such as a name, a phone number or an address, with a stand-in that is the same every time it appears. The job still reads in order, so a lab can learn from it, but it no longer says who the homeowner is or where they live. The diagram below shows one job before and after.

The method, including what is deleted outright and how you review samples, is in how company data is anonymized for AI training.

Ownership and payment

Licensing gives the buyer limited rights to a copy, while the company keeps ownership of the originals. The terms that matter, such as exclusivity, permitted use and deletion, are covered in data licensing. micro1 pays in full within 30 days of accepting the data, usually as a single payment.
