# Exporting data from the Qdrant application

You can export your [collections](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/collections/) from the Qdrant application by creating and downloading [snapshots](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/snapshots/):

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Web interface">
    1. [Connect to the application](./connect).
    2. In the sidebar, click <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/nebius-ai-cloud/1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS/_assets/qdrant-button-collections.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS&q=85&s=be5ab1ad0ca1b02d888bdcc7c5f4aa2b" width="24" height="24" data-path="_assets/qdrant-button-collections.svg" /> **Collections**.
    3. Click on the collection and then go to the **Snapshots** tab.
    4. Click **Take snapshot**.
    5. In the row of the created snapshot, click <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/nebius-ai-cloud/1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS/_assets/button-vellipsis.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS&q=85&s=e80b8e57c43bfd117679262e6a1334ad" width="12" height="24" data-path="_assets/button-vellipsis.svg" /> → **Download**.
    6. Save the file.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API">
    1. [Get the application's public endpoint](./connect).

    2. Create the collection's snapshot:

       ```bash theme={null}
       curl -X POST \
         'https://<public_URL>/collections/<collection_name>/snapshots' \
         --header 'api-key: <API_key>'
       ```

       The output contains the snapshot's name:

       ```json theme={null}
       {
         "time": 0.002,
         "status": "ok",
         "result": {
           "name": "<snapshot_name>",
           ...
         }
       }
       ```

    3. Get the snapshot:

       ```bash theme={null}
       curl -X GET \
         'https://<public_URL>/collections/<collection_name>/snapshots/<snapshot_name>' \
         --header 'api-key: <API_key>'
       ```
