How to export your data from Asana
Asana lets you export a single project (or a Search View / My Tasks list) as CSV or JSON directly from the web app; a full organization-wide export in JSON only exists as a developer API endpoint restricted to Enterprise+ Service Accounts, with no self-serve 'export everything' button in the UI.
✓ Verified against Asana's official documentation, September 2026
Step by step
- 1Open the Asana project you want to export.
- 2Click the drop-down menu next to the project's title.
- 3Choose the export option and select CSV or JSON as the output format.
- 4Repeat per project — there is no one-click export of an entire workspace or organization from the web app.
- 5To export a saved Search View or your My Tasks list, open that view and use the same export option from its menu.
- 6For a full organization export (Enterprise+ only): have an admin set up a Service Account, then call the API to create an organization_export request.
- 7Poll the returned job via the Jobs endpoint until its status is 'succeeded'.
- 8Download the file from the presigned S3 URL in the response before it expires — the link is valid for 1 hour.
What the export includes
- ✓Task data for one project at a time, downloadable as CSV or JSON from the project's menu
- ✓Search Views and your My Tasks list, exportable the same way as a project
- ✓Complete organization data in JSON format via the Organization Exports API (Enterprise+ Service Accounts only)
- ✓Bulk exports of resources such as tasks, teams, and messages for a workspace via the Resource Exports API
- ✓Graph exports of a goal, team, portfolio, or project and its related objects via the API (Enterprise/Enterprise+)
What it doesn't include
- ✗No native single click to export an entire workspace/organization from the web app UI — CSV/JSON export is scoped to one project or view at a time
- ✗Organization-wide JSON export requires an Enterprise+ plan and API/Service Account access — not available to Personal, Starter, or Advanced (Business) plan customers
- ✗Graph exports (goal/team/portfolio/project trees) also require an Enterprise or Enterprise+ plan
Before you start
- ⚠Graph exports can take from several minutes to a few hours to complete for large portfolios
- ⚠The download link for Graph, Resource, and Organization exports is a presigned S3 URL that expires 1 hour after the job succeeds
- ⚠Graph/Resource export files are gzipped JSONL (one JSON object per line per resource), not a flat CSV
- ⚠The Organization Exports API is developer-facing: you create an export request, then poll a Jobs endpoint until status is 'succeeded' rather than clicking a button in the app
- ⚠Since per-project export has no bulk mode in the UI, exporting a large workspace project-by-project is slow — the API routes exist specifically because of this limitation

Exporting from Asana: common questions
Can I export all of my Asana data at once?+
Not from the web app — export there is per project or per view (CSV/JSON). A full organization export exists only as a JSON API endpoint restricted to Enterprise+ organizations using a Service Account.
What file formats does Asana export support?+
CSV and JSON for a single project, Search View, or My Tasks list in the web app. API-based Graph and Resource exports produce gzipped JSONL files; the Organization Exports API produces JSON.
Do I need a paid Asana plan to export my data?+
No — per-project CSV/JSON export is available on any plan. Graph exports need Enterprise/Enterprise+, and a full organization JSON export needs Enterprise+ with API/Service Account access.
How long does an Asana export take?+
Per-project CSV/JSON downloads are near-instant. API-based Graph exports can take from several minutes to a few hours for large portfolios, and the resulting download link expires after 1 hour.
Can I export just my My Tasks list or a saved search instead of a whole project?+
Yes. My Tasks and Search Views can be exported the same way as a project, using the export option in their menu.
Is there a way to bulk-export every project in my organization without the API?+
No — the web app only supports exporting one project or view at a time. Bulk, organization-wide export requires the Enterprise+ Organization Exports API.
