Create new export snapshot

Create a new export request to start a background task and generate an export file (snapshot) for a specific project by ID. The project ID can be found in the URL when viewing the project in Label Studio, or you can retrieve all project IDs using List all projects.

A snapshot is a static export of your project’s data and annotations at a specific point in time. It captures the current state of your tasks, annotations, and other relevant data, allowing you to download and review them later. Snapshots are particularly useful for large projects as they help avoid timeouts during export operations by processing the data asynchronously.

For more information, see the Label Studio documentation on exporting annotations.
