# Exporting Root Data to Plain CSV via POST

`POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/forms/{xmlFormId}/submissions.csv`

_(introduced: version 1.1)_

This endpoint is useful only for Forms under Project Managed Encryption.

As with `GET` to `.csv` just above, this endpoint will only return CSV text data, rather than a ZIP file containing ore or more files. Please see that endpoint for further explanation.

As with [`POST` to `.csv.zip`](/central-api-submission-management/#exporting-form-submissions-to-csv-via-post) it allows secure submission of decryption passkeys. Please see that endpoint for more information on how to do this.
