How to export your data from GetResponse?
You may want to export your data from GetResponse for backup, analysis, or migration to another platform. This guide explains how to export contacts, campaign reports, and/or other account data.
There are several ways to export and work with your data in GetResponse, depending on what type of information you need. You can export contacts to download your subscriber lists, create custom reports to generate detailed insights about your campaigns and automations, or use webinar data exports to review participant information and session performance. These options give you flexibility in accessing, analyzing, and transferring your data when needed.
For detailed instructions on exporting specific types of data, see the tutorials below:
Exporting data via API
In addition to manual exports available in your account, the recommended way to work with your data is through the GetResponse API. The API gives you greater flexibility, allowing you to automate exports, retrieve large datasets without limitations of manual downloads, and easily integrate the information with other systems or reporting tools. This makes it the most efficient and scalable option for ongoing data management.
For full details, see GetResponse API Reference.
GetResponse API Endpoints Overview

API limits and throttling
When exporting data using the GetResponse API, it’s important to be aware of the enforced rate limits and throttling rules. These limits ensure reliable service for all users and define how many requests can be made per second or per day. Exceeding these limits may cause delays or temporary request failures, so plan your data exports accordingly. For full details, see the GetResponse API Limits and Throttling documentation.
Getting started with the API
If you want to begin exporting data using the GetResponse API, the best place to start is the API case study and getting started guide. It explains how to authenticate, make your first requests, and structure calls to retrieve contacts, campaigns, newsletters, and other account data. Following this guide will help you quickly set up your API workflow and start exporting data efficiently.
Best practices for exporting data
When exporting large amounts of data via the API, follow these recommendations to ensure smooth and reliable operations:
- Use pagination – many endpoints return data in pages. Always check for
limitandoffsetparameters to retrieve all records. - Monitor rate limits – avoid exceeding the API limits to prevent temporary request failures. See Limits and Throttling.
- Batch requests if needed – for very large datasets, break your exports into smaller batches.
- Validate your data – always check responses for completeness and handle empty or partial results gracefully.
The recommended export workflow is as follows:
- Start with manual exports – use the GetResponse interface to export contacts, reports, or webinar data to understand the structure and content.
- Set up API exports – for automation or large datasets, use the API endpoints to retrieve the data programmatically.
- Respect limits – plan your requests according to API throttling rules, and implement pagination for large exports.
- Integrate or store data – use the exported data in your reporting, CRM, backup, or analytics workflows.
GetResponse Data Model
The GetResponse data model is centered around Contacts, which represent subscribers and customers in your account. Every contact belongs to one or more Campaigns (Lists), and can be enriched with attributes such as tags, custom fields, and GDPR fields. Contacts also generate events (e.g., email opens, clicks, purchases, webinar attendance) that provide behavioral insights.
Campaigns act as containers for organizing contacts and running communications. They connect to different types of messages: newsletters, autoresponders, and automated workflows, each of which records performance statistics that can be tied back to individual contacts.
Additional entities such as forms, landing pages, and webinars serve as entry points for new contacts, while e-commerce integrations (shops, products, and transactions) bring in purchase-related data. Transactional emails and SMS messages extend communication into 1:1 channels, and files and media provide resources used across campaigns.
This interconnected model ensures that all data – whether related to audience, communication, or events – can be linked back to the individual contact. This makes it possible to run precise segmentation, personalized campaigns, and advanced reporting, while keeping the data structure flexible and scalable for different business needs.
What’s not available for export
While most of your account data can be exported manually or via the API, some elements are not available for direct export:
- Third-party integrations – e.g., external CRM or ecommerce platform data that syncs into GetResponse but is stored outside.
- Account-level configuration – such as billing history, user permissions, or interface preferences.
- Real-time tracking data – only historical statistics are available.
- Suppressed or deleted contacts – once removed, they cannot be recovered through export.
This means exports focus on contacts, campaigns, messages, reports, and events, but not every operational or configuration detail of your account.
Data Residency and Jurisdiction
The jurisdiction under which GetResponse processes your data depends on your account type and configuration. This determines where the ICT infrastructure used for data processing is located:
- MAX (EU configuration) – Data is processed in Poland (EU)
- SMB accounts – Data is processed in the USA and Canada for backup copies
- MAX (US configuration) – Data is processed in the USA and Canada for backup copies
The data center service provider has no access to customer data. GetResponse operates its own physical servers, and only authorized GetResponse employees can access the information stored on them.
This information is essential for compliance and legal requirements (e.g., GDPR), as it defines the applicable regulatory framework for your exported data.
