$dump

You can dump all resources of a specified type. Aidbox will respond with Chunked Transfer Encoding ndjson stream, optionally you can get the output in FHIR format or GZIPped.

This is a memory-efficient operation. Aidbox just streams the database cursor to a socket. If your HTTP Client supports processing of Chunked Encoding, you can process resources in stream one by one without waiting for the end of the response.
