Hi @Javed2918,

Tiffany's answer about creating an export and triggering it thorugh an API is a great solution.

If you are looking for a detailed audit solution, Audit API is what you are looking for. You can keep track of certain user activities like successful and unsuccessful sign-in attempts, structural and cell data changes, and more. After the latest update, it can also pull model history.

There is a Github repo created by @QuinE, and a model created by @ChrisStauffer. You can clone the repo, schedule a daily API import, and have almost all your model activities organized in one place.

For more details, I recommend checking out this three-part OEG article.

Hope this helps.

Hi Javed,

I am not aware of any available APIs that allow for the extraction of model history data (presuming you don't mean revision tags). Here is an overview of the available APIs: https://help.anaplan.com/anaplan-api-844c6d40-a21c-423d-8435-ebaaa0372b76

That being said there is the option to created a saved export of the model history which would allow for an API to call the export action to extract a data file. See additional information here: https://help.anaplan.com/export-model-history-f5a9a1ab-b450-4dfa-8a5e-3faeb5971080

@seymatas1 - thanks for the assist! I must have missed that recent update to the Audit API. The addition of model history activity makes that API much more robust!
