Exporting Mode Analytics to a CSV File

Using Mode API to Export Reports

To export a report to a CSV file using the Mode API, an example code can be utilized which demonstrates the automated process. This code necessitates possessing a Mode API token and API secret. Additionally, the name of the Mode workspace along with a report token are required inputs. The method export_report_to_csv is used to export the report, which initially invokes the get_report_latest_run_status to check the status of the report run.

The get_report_latest_run_status method performs a GET request to the endpoint provided by app.mode.com to retrieve the status of the most recent report run. If the report run has been successful, the export_report_to_csv method proceeds to download the CSV file of the latest run to the directory where the script is located. Conversely, if the report run fails, the method will return an error message.

Exporting via Exports Resource

The exports resource in Mode Analytics provides a means to download the results of a query or report run in various formats including CSV. To download the results as a CSV file, a GET request should be sent to the appropriate query or report run endpoint. The endpoint is capable of returning the results in CSV format.

For report runs specifically, the report run endpoint can be used to obtain the results in CSV format by sending a GET request. If you require the report results in PDF format, appending a .pdf extension to the GET request at the report run endpoint is necessary.
