Exports are a way to download data from Asana. The following types of exports are available:

Graph exports: Export of data about objects starting from a parent object, such as a goal, team, portfolio, or project.
Organization exports: Exports the complete data of an organization in JSON format. Please refer to Organization exports for more details.
Resource exports: Bulk exports of resources such as tasks, teams, and messages for a workspace.

Graph exports

📘
Availability
Graph exports are currently available to users in an Enterprise/Enterprise+ organization.

A graph_export object represents a request to export the
data about objects starting from a parent object. Parent object can be a goal, team, portfolio, or project.

To create an export using this API:

Create a graph_export request and store the ID that is returned.
Request the jobs endpoint every few minutes, until status field contains 'succeeded'.
Download the file located at the URL in the download_url field.

Exports can take a long time, from several minutes to a few hours for large portfolios.

File format

The result of the export will provide a presigned S3 URL that expires in 1 hour. With this URL, a user can download the file. The file is gzipped and in JSONL format. Each line in the file represents a different object in JSON format. Each object has a resource_type. The resource types that can be presented in the file are:

`resource_type`	Description
`portfolio`	Portfolio data
`project`	Project data
`task`	Task data
`section`	Section of project data
`portfolio_to_portfolio`	Relation between portfolios
`project_to_portfolio`	Relation between project and portfolio
`allocation`	Allocation for a project
`time_tracking_entry`	Record of the actual time spent on the task
`goal`	Goal data
`goal_to_goal`	Relation between goal and sub-goal
`goal_to_portfolio`	Relation between goal and portfolio from related work of goal
`goal_to_project`	Relation between goal and project from related work of goal
`goal_to_task`	Relation between goal and task from related work of goal

➡️ For a definitive list of properties exposed perresource_type, please review this documentation.

Below is the schema of the graph export object itself.

GraphExport

Property	Type	Description
`gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`resource_subtype`	string	A graph_export object represents a request to export the data starting from a parent object
`status`	string	The current status of this job. Click to show all enum values `failed` `in_progress` `not_started` `succeeded`
`new_graph_export`	object	A graph_export object represents a request to export the data starting from a parent object
`new_graph_export.gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`new_graph_export.resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`new_graph_export.created_at`	string (date-time)	The time at which this resource was created.
`new_graph_export.download_url`	string (uri)	Download this URL to retrieve the full export in JSON format. It will be compressed in a gzip (.gz) container. Note: May be null if the export is still in progress or failed. If present, this URL may only be valid for 1 hour from the time of retrieval. You should avoid persisting this URL somewhere and rather refresh on demand to ensure you do not keep stale URLs.
`new_graph_export.completed_at`	string (date-time)	The time at which this resource was completed.
