Exporting Data to a csv

Posted on behalf of William Calhoun. Original posting date 2015-07-21.

Hello,

I am trying to mimic the "export tasks to csv" output using the API. To my understanding there is no direct function in the API for exporting to csv.

I am trying to recreate the process by building off the python code you attach in your "sample API code". I can write out the JSON objects of all the levels of hierarchy. Tasks, Projects, Packages, Folders, Events, Milestones

However each csv is quite messy and none of them look anything like the 'export tasks to csv' output. I have access to the space I want and can access any element I want. I want to recreate the output of the 'export tasks to csv' as closely as possible. Below is my modified code where I can export projects and tasks separately. Any help would be much appreciated!

Attached is my modified python file, the output of me exporting projects and tasks. And the output that you get from using the GUI's 'export tasks to csv' (liquid planner output one)
