Hi,  
Is there any maximum size of file that will be exported from exports API.

Hi @arun3m! Thanks for this post. Great question. The [Exports API documentation](https://developers.hubspot.com/beta-docs/guides/api/crm/exports#limits) only notes the following limits:

- When setting filters for your export, you can include a maximum of three _filterGroups_ with up to three filters in each group.
- You can complete up to thirty exports within a rolling 24 hour window, and one export at a time. Additional exports will be queued until the previous export is completed.
- An exported CSV file will be automatically zipped if the resulting file is greater than 2MB.

That said, I am happy to ask the team if there are any particular size limits aside from the 2MB. I will reply here with confirmation!

_Best,_

Kennedy

Hi @kennedyp,  
Thanks for the reply. Yes, please check with the team if there is any limitaion aside from the 2MB. It will be helpful to know if there is any file size limt on zip file.  
Additionaly if the API supports JSON it would be helpful.

Thanks for your patience, @arun3m!  
I confirmed with the team that _there’s no limit to the amount of data you can retrieve or the size of the file we generate_. However, larger files may take longer for us to process and deliver. The only restrictions are a maximum of 30 exports within a 24-hour period and one export at a time.

JSON is supported as well! The documentation linked in my last reply shows some JSON examples for reference.

_Best,_

Kennedy

Thanks for confirming.  
Regadring JSON from [documentation](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/reference/api/crm/exports) I don’t see it in the format list

Ah I may be incorrect! 😅 Thanks for the resource.  
Hey [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074), @GRajput, or [@Mike\_Eastwood](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/9259) do y’all know if the Exports API supports JSON? Thanks!

I confirmed that if you are referring to the export format, then JSON _is not_ supported at this time.
