# Export audience activity CSV

> Export a compressed CSV report of audience-level delivery and engagement data for a specific message. This includes sent, delivered, clicked, failed, and unsubscribed events across Push, Email, and SMS channels.

## Overview

Get a CSV of per-recipient audience activity events (sends, clicks, failures, etc.) for a push, email, or SMS message. This endpoint mirrors the **Export** button in the dashboard's Audience Activity section on each message report:

* [Push message reports](/docs/en/push-notification-message-reports)
* [Email message reports](/docs/en/email-message-reports)
* [SMS message reports](/docs/en/sms-message-reports)

The CSV schema varies by channel. See each channel's message reports page for column definitions.

***

## How to use this API

Get the message `id` from the [Sending messages API](/reference/create-message) or the [View messages API](/reference/view-messages).

A successful request returns `200 OK` with a `csv_file_url`:

```json 200 OK theme={null}
{
    "csv_file_url": "https://onesignal-data.onesignal.com/csv_exports/YOUR_APP_ID/events_audience-activity-YOUR_MESSAGE_ID-push-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SSTZ.csv.gz"
}
```

The generated file name follows the pattern `events_audience-activity-{message_id}-{channel}-{timestamp}.csv.gz`.

The file is generated at \~2,000 records per second. For large audiences, generation can take several minutes, and the URL may return `404` until the file is ready:

```xml 404 Not Found theme={null}
<Error>
  <Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
  <Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>
</Error>
```

Poll the `csv_file_url` with GET and implement retries with exponential backoff. When the file is ready, the GET request downloads the `.csv.gz` file.

<Info>
  * The CSV download URL is valid for **3 days** after creation.
  * File names include a random UUID to prevent guessing.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Only **one concurrent export** is allowed per OneSignal account. Download the `.csv.gz` file before starting another export, or the new request fails.
</Warning>
