​
Import & Export

Export table metadata (columns, owners, tags, descriptions) to CSV and import changes back. Supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

​
Export to CSV

GET /v1/tables/name/{fqn}/export
​
fqn
string
required
Fully qualified name of the table (e.g., snowflake_prod.analytics.public.customers).

​
Export Async

GET /v1/tables/name/{fqn}/exportAsync Returns a job ID for large exports that can be polled for completion.

​
Import from CSV

PUT /v1/tables/name/{fqn}/import
​
fqn
string
required
Fully qualified name of the table.
​
dryRun
boolean
default:"true"
If true, validates the CSV without applying changes. Set to false to apply.

​
Import Async

PUT /v1/tables/name/{fqn}/importAsync For large imports, use the async variant which returns a job ID.
