Samsara Data Export Types

To streamline business operations and save data you later want to preserve, you can export ELD, Safety, and additional data. There are two ways to export data: from the Samsara API or directly from the Samsara dashboard in comma-separated values (CSV) format.

If you use the API method to export, ensure that you have an API token with Read permissions available for the data you want to export. For more information regarding API tokens, see API Basics.

For each data type, you can use the date selector to customize the time frame of the data you want to export. Use the Download CSV function that is available from the more actions menu (...) on each report.

The following table describes the export considerations for each data type.
