# Group Relations Export API **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/59978) in GitLab 13.12.
|
|
|
|
With the Group Relations Export API, you can partially export group structure. This API is similar
|
|
to [group export](group_import_export.md),
|
|
but it exports each top-level relation (for example, milestones/boards/labels) as a separate file
|
|
instead of one archive. The group relations export API is primarily used in [group migration](../user/group/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Schedule new export
|
|
|
|
Start a new group relations export:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
POST /groups/:id/export_relations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|
|
| --------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | ID of the group owned by the authenticated user. |
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/export_relations"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"message": "202 Accepted"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Export status
|
|
|
|
View the status of the relations export:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
GET /groups/:id/export_relations/status
|

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|
|
| --------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `id` | integer/string | yes | ID of the group owned by the authenticated user. |
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
|
|
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/export_relations/status"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The status can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- `0`: `started`
|
|
- `1`: `finished`
|
|
- `-1`: `failed`
|
|
|
|
- `0` - `started`
|
|
- `1` - `finished`
|
|
- `-1` - `failed`
|
|
|
|
```json
