@David_MacKenzie,

We have a few options for you to explore for device data exports. Take a look a the below forum threads for how we’ve approached this in the past.

Our best recommendation since you’re looking to export multiple devices would be to configure [Notebooks](https://docs.losant.com/notebooks/notebook-file/writing-guide/) and use the [Request Input Data](https://docs.losant.com/rest-api/notebook/#request-input-data-export) export resource. Losant has compiled some good examples of Notebooks [here](https://github.com/Losant/notebook-examples).

We built up a test notebook configuration and sample workflow to execute a scheduled data export. See below. If you modify the trigger in the workflow to be a Timer - you can set up the frequency at which you want to run the export.

Let me know if this doesn’t work for your use case.

Thanks
