# Exports

You can export items from Zuora to CSV or HTML files, such as large data sets, invoices, payments, and so on. Use the Export object and Export ZOQL queries to create an export file that you can download and use for charting, reporting, accounting, or for other business intelligence uses.

When you export data from Zuora, each exported file is available for download for 7 days. Export objects older than 90 days are automatically deleted.


## CRUD: Create an export

 - [POST /v1/object/export](https://developer.zuora.com/v1-api-reference/older-api/exports/object_postexport.md): Use this operation to create a data source export. After you have created a data source export, use CRUD: Retrieve an export to check the status of the data source export and access the exported data.

### Limits

Zuora system enforces the following limits on data source exports:

* The maximum processing time per export is 3 hours. If an export is executed for longer than 3 hours, it will be killed automatically.
* The maximum number of concurrent exports is 50 per tenant. Exports in Pending and Processing status are counted towards the concurrent export limit. Zuora system will reject the subsequent data source export requests once the concurrent export limit is reached.

When you export data from Zuora, each exported file is available for download for 7 days. Data source exports (Export objects) older than 90 days are automatically deleted.

Note: This operation supports the Export ZOQL query language. However, this operation does not support some data sources, objects, and fields in Export ZOQL queries. For full compatibility with Export ZOQL, Zuora recommends that you use the AQuA API instead of this operation.

## CRUD: Retrieve an export

 - [GET /v1/object/export/{id}](https://developer.zuora.com/v1-api-reference/older-api/exports/object_getexport.md): Use this operation to check the status of a data source export and access the exported data.

When you export data from Zuora, each exported file is available for download for 7 days. Data source exports (Export objects) older than 90 days are automatically deleted.
