# Project import/export API
2018-02-13 09:04:19 -05:00
[Introduced][ce-41899] in GitLab 10.6
2018-02-16 08:37:26 -05:00
[See also the project import/export documentation](../user/project/settings/import_export.md)

## Schedule an export
2017-12-05 23:27:23 -05:00
Start a new export.
The endpoint also accepts an `upload` param. This param is a hash that contains
all the necessary information to upload the exported project to a web server or
to any S3-compatible platform. At the moment we only support binary
data file uploads to the final server.
If the `upload` params is present, `upload[url]` param is required.
(**Note:** This feature was introduced in GitLab 10.7)

## Export status
Get the status of export.
```http
GET /projects/:id/export
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |

```
Status can be one of `none`, `started`, `after_export_action` or `finished`. The
`after_export_action` state represents that the export process has been completed successfully and
the platform is performing some actions on the resulted file. For example, sending
an email notifying the user to download the file, uploading the exported file
to a web server, etc.
2017-12-05 23:27:23 -05:00
`_links` are only present when export has finished.

To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes
cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`.
The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your filesystem and be preceded
by `@`. For example:
```console
2018-02-14 08:55:11 -05:00
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" --form "path=api-project" --form "file=@/path/to/file" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/import
2018-02-13 09:04:19 -05:00
```
```json
{
"id": 1,
"description": null,
"name": "api-project",
"name_with_namespace": "Administrator / api-project",
"path": "api-project",
"path_with_namespace": "root/api-project",
"created_at": "2018-02-13T09:05:58.023Z",
"import_status": "scheduled"
}
```
## Import status

2018-02-13 09:04:19 -05:00
