  1. There’s no API call for exporting a table as CSV right? (couldn’t find it in API documentation)

  2. Has anyone written a script that mimic that functionality by iterating through all the records, replacing linked record IDs with names, and then, generating said CSV? If not, I’ll work on writing one…

Hi @Steven_Zhang! Unfortunately the API doesn’t have a call for that.

I’ve written something though, details are in your message box. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Steven_Zhang @Tuur, I would find this very useful too. Did you manage to build this tool?

I am also interested in this. We would like to occasionally store CSVs

For ‘normal’ backups, please have a look at @Tim_Dietrich’s tool…

For more functionality (like the OP was talking about) feel free to PM me!


@Tuur, I am interested in this, but cannot seem to PM you.

Just to be clear: it’s not a script or something. It’s a web service like Zapier.

Feel free to send me a PM in case you’re interested. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey people! I’m pretty busy as an Airtable consultant at the moment. This means that unfortunately I don’t have much time to get in touch with everyone. I do respond to every PM though.

If I ever have a solution for the ‘general public’ I’ll let you guys now.

Hi Valentin!

For know this is only available for my clients. Like I said earlier…

If I ever have a solution for the ‘general public’ I’ll let you guys now.

Meanwhile, something like https://www.integromat.com might be a solution?

Best,

Arthur.

I’d be willing to build a custom connector to zapier, integromat, workato, etc that did a bulk export. Assuming you already use one of these integration platforms you could then push it anywhere. Let me know if someone would be interesting in sponsoring such a project. (dan@openside.com)

Hey @Tuur, I don’t if it is possible but I would love to have access to such script. It would be very useful for my upcoming project!

Hi @Tuur, would it be possible to run a daily CSV export for one of the bases through something like Zapier?

I suspect you could do a Google sheet export with one of those…

Maybe https://www.integromat.com has more advanced features. @Julian_Kirkness can probably tell us something about that. :slightly_smiling_face:
