export

You can use product export to export your products in Product Experience Manager. Export builds a .csv file containing the product entries. A .csv file can contain up to 10,000 product entries. If you have more than 10,000 product entries, then another .csv file is created and so on, until all your products are exported.

You might have specified custom extension data in a .csv file when you imported the products. These modifications are all exported. So, when you send a request to the Export API, the .csv file, included in the Job endpoint response, reflects any changes that you have made. For more information, see Exporting Custom Data (Flows).

When you send a product export request, a job is created. Jobs are processed one at a time. You can continue to send product export

requests, but those jobs are queued. In other words, Commerce looks for any jobs that have a status of PENDING and starts the job with the earliest created date. This process is repeated until all jobs are processed. See Jobs API or Jobs in Commerce Manager.

After the files are exported, you get a link to the location where the .csv files are stored. You can then make any changes to the product fields (modify product information, add main image files, and custom extension data) in your exported .csv files. See Product Export CSV File.

Once you are happy with your changes, you can import the updated .csv files using product import. See Product Import/Bulk Update.
