after filtering, export pdf from xano to my pc

fantasy

Good morning,

I store in a table a "storage" type field for pdfs.
I'm trying to export all of these pdfs from xano to my computer after filtering them, but I can't.
I saw that you could download the file by clicking on the small document next to the field, but for a hundred records, it may take a long time.
I tried after filtering the export to CSV format but I don't get my pdf files.

Thank you in advance and good day!

@fantasy Unfortunately, Xano doesn't support downloading multiple files at one time. To handle this, you would have to deploy a program to access the PDFs and download them to your computer.

Hi @fantasy !

I replied to this question on this post, but I will add it here for visibility 🤓.

the right-hand side and selecting Export CSV.

You should also be able to filter the records that you specifically want to be exported.

Once the CSV has been generated, you'll see a green "Complete" box on the left-hand side of your workspace, and you can find and download the CSV from the Settings tab. This can certainly take a while if you have selected a lot of records.

The other option is to generate the CSV file through the API. This Snippet makes it super easy to create a CSV file through the API, which you can then download. I created this video that walks you through how to install the Snippet on your instance and use it to generate and download a CSV that contains data from your table, including content such as PDFs. You can add a function in your function stack that filters out the records you don't want to be included in your CSV.

In both cases, your CSV might look something like this 👇. The pdf row contains information about the PDF, including a URL that you can click to view and download each PDF.

Let me know if this information is helpful, and if you are still experiencing issues, please let us know.

Good morning and thanks for your help.
I had seen this function, however it does not allow me to download several pdfs at the same time but only to retrieve links to them.
For my part, I am looking to filter and then be able to export several pdf files from xano.
Cordially.
