Pulumi Insights data export allows you to export any set of Pulumi Insights search results to a CSV file. You can, in turn, use this CSV file to join to any external data in a data warehouse, perform ETL transforms, etc.

There are two ways to perform a data export:

1. Point-and-click, via the Pulumi Cloud web UI, by clicking the Export CSV menu item:

1. Programmatically, by calling the [Pulumi Cloud REST API](/docs/reference/cloud-rest-api/cloud-rest-api/#data-export)

## CSV format

The CSV (comma separated values) format is composed of the following fields:

```plain
created, custom, delete, id, modified, module, name, package, parent_urn, pending, project, protected, provider_urn, stack, type, urn, teams, properties, category
```
