RawExtractionResults versus ExtractedFiles

A simple question :

What is the difference between RawExtractionResults and ExtractedFiles ?

Can the first request save report files on your disk or is it just designed to display a preview of the data (in Postman for instance) ?

RawExtractionResults is used to retrieve a native/raw result from an On-Demand extraction request that includes both the raw extraction contents and the extraction notes. It requires JobID returned by the On-Demand extraction request. For example:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#RawExtractionResults/$entity",
    "JobId": "0x05ce6e5d5ccb2f96",
    "Notes": [
        "Extraction Services Version 11.1.37014 ..."
    ]
}

With the JobID, the application can use RawExtractionResults to retrieve the data (Extractions/RawExtractionResults('{ {jobId}}')/$value).

The ExtractedFiles resources returns all files for all report extractions for all schedules where the most recent ExtractedFiles are returned first.

{
    "@odata.context": "https://hosted.datascopeapi.reuters.com/RestApi/v1/$metadata#ExtractedFiles",
    "value": [
        {
            "ExtractedFileId": "VjF8MHgwNWNlNmU2N2ZjM2IzMDM2fA",
            "ReportExtractionId": "2000000001298791",
            "ScheduleId": "0x05ce6e5d5ccb2f96",
            "FileType": "Note",
            "ExtractedFileName": "_OnD_0x05ce6e5d5ccb2f96.csv.gz.notes.txt",
            "LastWriteTimeUtc": "2017-07-24T04:20:57.260Z",
            "ContentsExists": true,
            "Size": 1246,
            "ReceivedDateUtc": "2017-07-24T04:20:57.260Z"
        },
        {
            "ExtractedFileId": "VjF8MHgwNWNlNmU2N2RkY2IzMDI2fA",
            "ReportExtractionId": "2000000001298791",
            "ScheduleId": "0x05ce6e5d5ccb2f96",
            "FileType": "Full",
            "ExtractedFileName": "_OnD_0x05ce6e5d5ccb2f96.csv.gz",
            "LastWriteTimeUtc": "2017-07-24T04:20:56.000Z",
            "ContentsExists": true,
            "Size": 159406
        },

To retrieve the file, it requires ExtractedFileId (Extractions/ExtractedFiles('{ {extractedFileId}}')/$value). Typically, it is used with scheduled extraction. However, it can also be used to retrieve the data from On-Demand extraction. The JobID from On-Demand extraction is presented as ScheduleId in the ExtractedFiles result.

The files are on the server and it requires ID (On-Demand JobID or ExtractedFileId) to retrieve the data.
