The option won't prompt automatically when you use the API, did you specify the export content in the JSON body?

Note that:

You can use the exportToFile API to programmatically export a report in a specific state, after applying filters to it. This is done using Bookmarks capabilities. To export a report using bookmarks, use the bookmarks JavaScript API.

For example, you can use the bookmark's capturedBookmark.state method to capture the changes a specific user made to a report, and then export it in its current state.

Personal bookmarks and persistent filters are not supported.
