Hello,
Is it possible to export data from all modules (or selected modules; let's say there's 70 of them) without individually creating export actions for every single module?
Thanks,
Arthur

Sort of.
Unfortunately, you cannot export a "module".
You must first create the export action preferably using a view that contains only the data you want.
With that many modules you'll want to name those exports very carefully so you can find them using a python script.
Iterate through the files you want to export.
I ran into something like this a while ago where each planner had their own module. I used a line item subset to consolidate the modules into one - worked perfectly. This will only work, of course, if the line items are the same.
I'm copying this to @kavinkumar. If there's a way, he'll know.
@ArthurOff the short answer is you have to create the export in Anaplan first.
If you have 70 modules then you'll have to create 70 export actions that generate a file that you can download.
@PaulRitner discusses the same issue in this post. The business case for the API was to automate the actions in Anaplan.
As a suggestion, see if you can use a line item subset and use the COLLECT() function. By doing this you can consolidate the modules. This will only be possible if the line items are the same though.
Can you give some description of the 70 modules? Is there any type of similarity between them?
no I don't think we have that API point.
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
