description: The Export cURL API allows Site Admins and Site Managers to export data from the Registry or a specific study in Ripple without having to log into the platform or manually use the Export Tool. By running an Export cURL command, you can quickly pull data from Ripple into a CSV (Excel-compatible) file and transform it for use in third-party systems like CTMS, EDC, or CRM platforms.

# How to Use the EnrollNow Export API to Export Registry or Study Data

The **Export API** allows Site Admins and Site Managers to export data from the **Registry** or a **specific study** in EnrollNow without having to log into the platform or manually use the Export Tool. Using the EnrollNow Export API, , you can quickly pull data from EnrollNow into a CSV (Excel-compatible) file and transform it for use in third-party systems like CTMS, EDC, or CRM platforms.

This method enables faster, more regular data exports and supports data consistency across systems.

### What You Need Before You Start

To use the EnrollNow Export API,  gather the following information:

- **EnrollNow Site URL** (e.g., `https://yourEnrollNowsite.ripplescience.com`)
- [**Authorization Key**](https://21554971.hs-sites.com/en/knowledge-base/generating-and-using-your-curl-api-authorization-key?hsLang=en)(generated from your EnrollNow user account) Learn more about creating an Authorization Key in this [**article.**](https://support.enrollnow.io/en/knowledge-base/creating-a-base64-authorization-key-for-api-use?hsLang=en)
- **Study ID**
  
    - Use `"global"` if exporting from the **Registry**
    - For a study, copy the string from the study URL in EnrollNow
- **Time Zone** (e.g., `America/New_York`)
- **Variable Names** (the data fields you want to export)
- **Name of the excel file** to export to(e.g., `StudyExport.csv`)

### **Export API:** curl **Command Format**

#### **For Mac Users:**

`curl 'EnrollNowSiteURL/v1/export'\ --header 'Authorization: Basic AuthorizationKey'\ --data-raw 'export-type=StudyId&export-timezone=TimeZone&variableName1=on&variableName2=on&variableName3=on' > NameOfExportedExcel.csv`

#### **For Windows Users:**

`curl "EnrollNowSiteURL/v1/export" --header "Authorization: Basic AuthorizationKey" --data-raw "export-type=StudyId&export-timezone=TimeZone&variableName1=on&variableName2=on&variableName3=on" > NameOfExportedExcel.csv`

### Steps to Run the Command

1. **Open your terminal**
   
     - On Mac: Use **Terminal or iTerm**
     - On Windows: Use **Command Prompt**
2. **Paste the cURL command** based on your operating system from above.
3. **Update the placeholders** in the command:
   
     - Replace `EnrollNowSiteURL` with your actual EnrollNow Study URL
     - Replace `AuthorizationKey` with your key
     - Replace `StudyId` with the study ID in red box (or use `"global"` in all lowercase for Registry exports)![](https://support.enrollnow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1747189675814.png?width=533&height=40&name=google-1747189675814.png)
     - Replace `TimeZone` with your time zone (e.g., `America/New_York`)
     - Replace the variable names (e.g., `firstName`, `statusId`)
     - Replace `NameOfExportedExcel.csv` with your desired file name

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

- Variable names are **case-sensitive** and must match how they appear on the [**Data Dictionary**](https://21554971.hs-sites.com/en/knowledge-base/data-dictionary-overview?hsLang=en) or **Export Page**.
- **Spaces** are typically replaced by **underscores**.
- **Custom variables** must begin with `cv.` — e.g., `cv.potential_eligibility`.

### Special Formatting for Built-In EnrollNow Variables

| EnrollNow Variable | Format for Export API |
| --- | --- |
| Events (All or None) | `Events+%28+All+or+None+%29` |
| Participant Contacts | `Participant+Contacts` |
| Comments Log | `Comments+Log` |
| Contact Log | `Contact+Log` |
| Email Log | `Email+Log` |
| Consent Log | `Consent+Log` |

 

NOTE:  Exporting survey data requires additional formatting.

#### Example Export curl Command

Let’s say a data analyst asks you to export the following fields from your **Ancillary A Study**: first name, last name, global ID, custom ID, status, sex, and race.

Here’s what your command would look like in a Mac:

`curl 'https://supportplayground.ripplescience.org/v1/export' \ --header 'Authorization: Basic ZXhhbXBsZS51c2VyQHJpcHBsZXNjaWVuY2UuY29tOnN1cGVyc2VjcmV0cGFzc3dvcmQxMjMK' \ --data-raw 'export-type=bdHZw2JPpZxvcY6Qv&export-timezone=America%2FChicago&firstName=on&lastName=on&globalId=on&customId=on&statusId=on&sex=on&race=on' > StudyDataExport.csv`

**NOTE:**  Be sure to choose the correct curl  command based on your device (Mac or Windows). Double-check that your **Site URL**, **Authorization Key**, and **Study ID** match your EnrollNow site and user permissions to ensure the export is successful.

#### Need Help?

If you're unsure about your Study ID, authorization key, or variable names, or if your export isn't working as expected, please contact the EnrollNow Support Team at help@enrollnow.io.
