  • 1.  Is it possible to bulk Export External Contacts from GenesysCloud

    Posted 01-26-2021 02:47
    Customer wanted to export the bulk external contact for editing purpose, I have not seen any option do that.
    please let me know how we can achieve this.

    Yes,It is possible, the customer records was around 30k and customer want it in .csv format, we have used below code to export the contacts. 

    // Import built in libraries needed.
    const fs = require('fs');
    const csv = require('fast-csv');

    // Set Genesys Cloud objects
    const platformClient = require('purecloud-platform-client-v2');
    const apiClient = platformClient.ApiClient.instance;
    // API Instances that will be used to fetch external contacts, organizations, notes and relationships from Genesys Cloud
    const contactsApi = new platformClient.ExternalContactsApi();

    // OAuth Client Grant Credentials
    const apiClientId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
    const apiClientSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
    const apiClientRegion = 'mypurecloud.de';
    const organizationsId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

    // Script Sample Settings
    // - Maximum number of records we will request per "page" when using the External Contacts Scan API endpoints (10 to 200)
    const maxRecordsPerPage = 100;
    // - Force the script to make a pause between 2 consecutive API requests (to control/prevent API Rate limit)
    // i.e. Minimum time between 2 API requests
    const minAPIRequestInterval = 500;
    // i.e. If there is a pause to make (processing time < minAPIRequestInterval), the pause will be at minimum minWaitTime
    const minWaitTime = 50;
    // - Define a maximum number of retries (for API Rate Limit rejects)
    const maxRateLimitRetryAttempts = 2;
    // - Settings for Export to file (CSV or RAW)
    const fieldSeparator = ',';
    const exportType = 'CSV';

    // Global vars
    var writeStream, csvStream;
    var consecutiveRateLimitRetryAttempts = 0;

    Hello,

    This the code from the following tutorial in case someone needs explanations: https://developer.mypurecloud.com/api/tutorials/scan-external-contacts/?language=nodejs&step=1

    Actually, the code you have posted above is not the one which got published. The version you are showing was still in reviews/comments. Not sure why you used this one - always better to use the version which got approved and published.
    Code here: https://github.com/MyPureCloud/developercenter-tutorials/tree/master/scan-external-contacts/nodejs
