Export all matching events in the specified format. Returns a streaming file download, not a JSON envelope. The response includes a Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="events.<ext>" header. Clients must write the response body directly to disk or a buffer — do not call .json() on the response.

response.raise_for_status()
with open("events.csv", "wb") as f:

Actor Position Hierarchy

Understanding the actor position fields in ACLED and Flat formats:

Position Types

Principal/Secondary (actor1/actor2): Main actors in the event
Sub-Principal/Sub-Secondary (assoc_actor_1/assoc_actor_2): Internal organizational units
- Same organization as the main actor
- Examples: military divisions, regional branches, internal factions
Supporting Principal/Supporting Secondary (supporting_actor_1/supporting_actor_2): External support
- Different organizations providing assistance
- Examples: foreign military support, allied groups, coalition partners

Example Scenarios

Military operation with foreign support:

actor1: "Nigerian Army"
assoc_actor_1: "7th Division; 3rd Battalion"
supporting_actor_1: "French Air Force, U.S. Military Advisors"

Rebel coalition:

actor1: "Free Syrian Army"
assoc_actor_1: "Southern Front; Damascus Brigade"
supporting_actor_1: "Turkish Armed Forces"

actor2: "Syrian Arab Army"
assoc_actor_2: "4th Armored Division; Republican Guard"
supporting_actor_2: "Russian Aerospace Forces, Hezbollah"
