How can I export thousands of events?

Hi Elise S., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

To export thousands (or more) events from Mixpanel, use one of the high‑volume export options rather than UI CSV export: 1. Raw Event Export API (all plans, no extra cost) Use the Raw Event Export API, which returns events as JSONL (one JSON object per line) and is designed for large volumes. [Export methods; Export API spec] Basic example:

From the Events tab you can export visible events as CSV, but this is intended for smaller batches and is limited by what’s loaded in the table, not ideal for “thousands+” across long ranges. [Export methods]If you describe your volume (e.g., date range and approximate event count) and destination (file vs warehouse), I can suggest the most appropriate of these and a more specific call.

To export ~10k events into a file, the most straightforward options are: ---

This API is designed for high‑volume exports and returns JSONL (one JSON object per line). [Export methods; Raw export spec]**Basic cURL example (writes to a file):**LBKScurl --request GET \ --url '[https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?from_date=2024-01-01&to_date=2024-01-02&limit=10000](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?from_date=2024-01-01&to_date=2024-01-02&limit=10000)' \ --header 'accept: text/plain' \ --header 'authorization: Basic YOUR_AUTH' \ -o events.jsonlLBKSKey points: [Raw export spec; Export methods]- from_date and to_date are required (YYYY-MM-DD). - limit can be up to 100,000; 10,000 is fine. - Optional filters: - event (JSON array of event names). - where (expression filter). - Response format: JSONL (newline‑delimited JSON). - Rate limits: 60 queries/hour, 3 queries/second, 100 concurrent queries.Example without filters (all events in range): [Project migration guide]LBKScurl --request GET \ --url '[https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?project_id=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?project_id=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID) &amp;from_date=2024-01-01&amp;to_date=2024-01-02>' \ --header 'accept: text/plain' \ --header 'authorization: Basic YOUR_AUTH' \ -o events.jsonlLBKS---

If you prefer Python, mixpanel-utils can call the Export API and write directly to a file. [mixpanel-utils README]LBKSfrom mixpanel_utils import MixpanelUtilsLBKSmputils = MixpanelUtils( 'ServiceAccountSecretHere', token='ProjectTokenHere', service_account_username='my-user.12345.mp-service-account', project_id=123456, )LBKSmputils.export_events( 'events_10k.json', {'from_date': '2024-01-01', 'to_date': '2024-01-02', 'limit': 10000} )LBKSThis will export raw events and write them to events_10k.json. [mixpanel-utils README]---If you tell me your desired date range and whether you want specific event names or all events, I can give you the exact URL/command you should run.
