Specifying a location when exporting a project, using DSS python REST API

harpreet96

Hi,

I am trying to export a project using a dataiku python REST API and I would like to specifying the location in which to store the project I.E. a specified path on our server that hosts Dataiku. Please see the below:

for project_name in list_of_project_keys:
project = client.get_project(project_name)
project.export_to_file(project_name + '.zip')

On the last line, I'd like to specify the location in which to export the project to - any advise would be appreciated.

Hi @harpreet96
and @ArvinUbhi
,

The export_to_file() allows you to specify a full filepath, such as /my/dir/project.zip

The following example will export your projects to the directory specified by the BASE_DIR variable, eg /path/to/dir/PROJECT_NAME.zip

import os.path

BASE_DIR = '/path/to/dir'

for project_name in list_of_project_keys:
    project = client.get_project(project_name)
    export_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, project_name + '.zip')
    project.export_to_file(export_path)

The directory must already exist.

Thanks,

Zach
