# Start a content export job.

`POST /v2/content/{id}/export`

Schedule an _asynchronous_ export of content with the given identifier. You will get back an asynchronous job identifier on success. Use the [getAsyncExportStatus](#operation/getAsyncExportStatus) endpoint and the job identifier you got back in the response to track the status of an asynchronous export job.
If the content item is a folder, everything under the folder is exported recursively. Keep in mind when exporting large folders that there is a limit of 1000 content objects that can be exported at once. If you want to import more than 1000 content objects, then be sure to split the import into batches of 1000 objects or less.
The results from the export are compatible with the Library import feature in the Sumo Logic user interface as well as the API content import job.
