Exporting objects

Use this resource with the import resource to migrate objects from one organization to another.

Exporting objects includes a series of requests and responses. The end result is a ZIP file that contains the exported objects. To export objects, you perform the following tasks:

Send an objects GET request with query parameters to get a list of objects to export. Or, if you already know which objects you want to export, send a lookup GET request to get the object IDs for the objects that you want to export.

IDMC

returns the object IDs.

See Objects and Lookup.

Send an export POST request to start the export job, using the object IDs returned in the objects or lookup response.

IDMC

returns the job ID for the export job.

See Starting an export job.

Send an export GET request to get the status of the export job, using the export job ID for the export package.

IDMC

returns the job ID and status. The response can also include a list of the objects in the export package.

See Getting the export job status.

Send an export GET request to download the export package.

IDMC

returns the export package in a ZIP file.

See Downloading an export package.

This resource uses a dynamic rate limit. When the system experiences a large volume or size of requests, responses might be slow or fail with the error message, "too many requests."
