Hi,
Can we export data from anaplan and directly load into other tool via Rest API, without exporting csv or text file.
@Vicky_Kapri using Anaplan Rest API we can't, but if that tool supports some APIs, we can create our own APIs by combining Anaplan APIs and tool APIs we can load.
can we do it with Postman?
we are using Postman only to call rest API to interact with Anaplan and automate the tasks.
what tools we can use to integrate with anaplan?

@Vicky_Kapri I am working on a similar problem currently, using Python. Postman won't be the right tool for it as @SriNitya mentioned it only send requests to interact with Anaplan to automate tasks. Whereas using python we could get the exported csv into the script in form of DataFrames [Tabular Format] (using Pandas Library) without explicitly downloading the file on the system. Now this DataFrame can be shared using the tool's API by converting it to a csv variable within Python. Sharing the code below:
export_action_url = f"{base_url}/exports/{export_id}/tasks" response = requests.post(export_action_url, headers=headers,data=json.dumps({'localeName': 'en_US'})) response_json=response.json() # Check if the export action started successfully print(response_json) if response.status_code == 200: task_id = response_json["task"]["taskId"] print(f"Export action started successfully. Task ID: {task_id}") # Pull the status of the export action task_status_url = f"{export_action_url}/{task_id}" while True: response = requests.get(task_status_url, headers=headers,data=json.dumps({'localeName': 'en_US'})) response_json=response.json() print(response_json) task_status = response_json["task"]["taskState"] if task_status == "COMPLETE": print("Export action completed successfully.") break elif task_status == "FAILED": print("Export action failed.") break else: print(f"Failed to start the export action. Status code: {response.status_code}. Response: {response.text}") # Retrieve the exported data export_data_url = f"{base_url}/files/{file_id}" response = requests.get(export_data_url, headers=headers) if response.status_code == 200: file_data = response.content print("File retrived") else: print(f"Failed to retrieve the file data. Status code: {response.status_code}. Response: {response.text}") #Get the File from Anaplan file=pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(file_data.decode('utf-8')))
export_action_url = f"{base_url}/exports/{export_id}/tasks"
response = requests.post(export_action_url, headers=headers,data=json.dumps({'localeName': 'en_US'}))
response_json=response.json()
# Check if the export action started successfully
print(response_json)
if response.status_code == 200:
task_id = response_json["task"]["taskId"]
print(f"Export action started successfully. Task ID: {task_id}")
# Pull the status of the export action
task_status_url = f"{export_action_url}/{task_id}"
while True:
response = requests.get(task_status_url, headers=headers,data=json.dumps({'localeName': 'en_US'}))
task_status = response_json["task"]["taskState"]
if task_status == "COMPLETE":
print("Export action completed successfully.")
break
elif task_status == "FAILED":
print("Export action failed.")
else:
print(f"Failed to start the export action. Status code: {response.status_code}. Response: {response.text}")
# Retrieve the exported data
export_data_url = f"{base_url}/files/{file_id}"
response = requests.get(export_data_url, headers=headers)
file_data = response.content
print("File retrived")
print(f"Failed to retrieve the file data. Status code: {response.status_code}. Response: {response.text}")
#Get the File from Anaplan
file=pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(file_data.decode('utf-8')))
base_url : f"https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/workspaces/{workspaceID}/models/{modelID}" export_id, file_id : You can get this information from Anaplan In the end the "file" variable will hold your data as DataFrame without downloading it to the system. But you would require saving this script in some system which could run this script.
@Vicky_Kapri This article gives detailed information about multiple integration options with Anaplan.
Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item? I have a Business Unit list where the total (All BUs) must display the Corporate (1 of 20 leaf items under All BUs total) number of Unique Customers.…
Hello community, I have an issue with anaplan report (functionality). The issue I have is within couple of slides. The data in that report is scrolling into a new page. There is a hierarchy in the rows and line items and time in the columns. My problem is, the hierarchy is getting broken in the second page. One of the node…
I want to create an S3 connection that will have monthly data stored in individual csv files that is connected to ADO. Around month end, data will be uploaded multiple times, replacing existing csvs. When this happens I want to replace the existing data for that month with the new file. I don't want to have to create a…
