Genesys Cloud - Main

Hi, i would like to export the User / People data to Excel so that i can sort by last logged on date. Has anyone found a way to do this? I tried copying and the developer tools but cannot get it in to a format that i can import into Excel.

Tried /API/v2/ but there does not seem to be an export option.

Thanks in advance

Hey Andrew!
I do this pretty often. I save the JSON payload to a text file, then load it into Excel using Data>GetData>From File>From JSON, and then i use the import wizard in Excel to get the data plotted at the right level. 

Let me know if this helps!
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

I've created an Excel with a macro to export all kinds of config data, including user data. Data kan be retrieved with a single click, very useful when you need this often.

The macro uses the VBA-JSON Tools (https://github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-JSON) to retrieve the data via the Genesys Platform API. I also added the possibly to update the user data in the Excel and push it back the Genesys.

Hi, thanks i got it working ok, however i do not get the all the data returned on one page and i have to change the page to page 2 in the query to get the rest. I have the page size set to 188 as this bring back the most data. Is there a way to get the query to return the data in one go? I am expanding on lasttokenissued.

Hi Andrew,

No, the page size is limited to 500 user per request. In each request there is a "nestUri" specified that you can use to get the next batch. When the "nextUri" doesn't exist, you have the last set of users. So to get all users you have to create a loop.

I haven't found a way to get past the paging limit restrictions on the API. I usually save them into multiple files and then import into Excel for my work. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has also found a way to work around this.

I did this with the .NET SDK. It will retry automatically if you stop querying it so I just sleep the application for the duration of the Retry-After header (a few seconds).

Hi all, i got this reply when i logged a call with support.

Our Dev team has advised that a more reliable approach to gathering this information would involve expanding on lasttokenissued, instead of dateLastLogin.

The dateLastLogin field is only updated opportunistically, so it's possible in the event of this field not being updated to come across the date '0000-12-30T00:00:00Z'

However, as a few other users pointed out, this expanding on lasttokenissued might be more reliable

Hi Andrew

Take a look at the CLI for doing this.  It gives auto-paginate and stream options that get around some of the limitations people have mentioned here and can output to CSV.

Yes CLI might be the best option. In another project I already collected some information about this.

In short the following steps are needed to export users:

1. Download gc.exe
2. gc profiles new
3. Use credentials from OAuth Application that you created
4. Execute: gc.exe users list --autopaginate

Everything about CLI: https://developer.genesys.cloud/blog/2021-02-11-Introducing-the-CLI/

A good intro video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYDs5NsLpU&list=PL01cVFOkuN70Rk8xgI8pk_tKMcTW4FesF

On GIT Hub is a great collection of use cases: https://github.com/MyPureCloud/quick-hits-cli

As for an example there is a small Python script that demonstrates export and import of objects: https://github.com/MyPureCloud/quick-hits-cli/blob/main/general/migrateorgobjects.py

 There are several different examples in PowerShell, Linux Shell or Python examples as a great resource to learn how this works. But even without examples the usage is quite simple. You can install it in windows (or any other OS) following the instructions found here: https://developer.genesys.cloud/api/rest/command-line-interface/

Hope this helps!
