# Exports

## Overview

Exports can be used to download a Redivis table in various common formats. All exports must first be created (via [export.post](/api/rest-api/exports/post.md)), and then polled (via [export.get](/api/rest-api/exports/get.md)) until it is completed. The output file can then be downloaded via [export.download](/api/rest-api/exports/download.md).

Exports are the recommend approach to extract large tables from Redivis, and is required for all tables over 100GB. For smaller tables, especially under 1GB, consider using the [table.listRows](/api/rest-api/tables/listrows.md) endpoint.
