# Export raw events

`GET /api/2/export`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://amplitude.com`
- URL: `https://amplitude.com/api/2/export`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Export raw event data for a time range as a zipped archive of newline-delimited JSON files. Range is bounded by `server_upload_time`, maximum 365 days and 4 GB per request. Data is available roughly two hours after ingestion.

## Query parameters

- `start` string, required
- `end` string, required

## Response `200`

Zipped archive of JSON event files.

## Other responses

- `400`: Request too large. Export exceeds the 4 GB limit — narrow the time range.
- `401`: Missing or invalid credentials. Send HTTP Basic auth with the project API key as the username and the secret key as the password.
- `404`: No data available for the requested time range.
- `429`: Concurrent or hourly rate limit exceeded for the project. The response identifies which limit was hit. Up to 5 concurrent requests are allowed across Amplitude REST endpoints.
