When lists are not enough - bulk export for messages

A common request is to download large volumes of messaging data. Although this is possible using Twilio’s REST APIs, it can be slow. BulkExport allows you to download all of a day’s messages in a single file, rather than iterating on the list.

Now Enterprise Plan customers can request a date range, or enable automatic daily generation of files. Each file holds a day’s worth of messages exported in JSON. This enables customers who want to manage compliance or load into a warehouse to get a single file to feed to their processes. After Public Beta, this will be available to all Twilio accounts.

For more information on how to set this up, look at the BulkExport API Overview. Then you can start by requesting a day in the past, and getting all those messages in a single file.
