Make to export a CSV file

[Steven_Zhang]

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:

Best, Arthur.

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

[Tuur]

Yup. I’ll send you a PM. :slightly_smiling_face:

[Andrew_James]

@Tuur This would be really useful for me too, would you be able to share?

[Tuur]

Sure thing. PM sent. :slightly_smiling_face:

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…

ZenBackups: Airtable Database Backups Integrations

Hi everyone. I’ve just released ZenBackups, a service that makes it easy to backup Airtable databases. In working as an Airtable consultant over the past few years, I’ve had a number of clients ask me if there was an easy way that they could backup their data. That was the inspiration behind ZenBackups. Here’s a quick demo: [image] For more information, please visit: https://zenbackups.com Thanks, Tim

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