Is the JSON output nested or flat?

Line-item/table data is exported as an array of objects (one object per row) with real typed values (numbers as numbers, not quoted strings), ready to parse directly.

Can I use this for an API pipeline?

Yes, the same extraction is also available through the developer API (Settings > Integrations & API) for programmatic use, not just this manual tool page.
