Can I export a Moti?

You might need to reuse your Motis in another system, share course content with people who don’t have Motimate, or analyze your training with other tools. Motimate can’t export a ready‑made course file (PDF, PowerPoint or SCORM), but there are still a few good options to get your data out ⭐️

What can I export?

✅ You can:

• Export course data (text, structure and other metadata) as JSON via the Motimate Public API.

• Export completion and progress data for your Motis, Packages and Learning Paths using Insights Reports or the Public API. (See below)

   

❌ You currently cannot:

• Export full Motis, Packages, or Learning Paths directly to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images, or similar document formats.
• Export Motimate courses as SCORM packages (or other e‑learning package formats).

Exporting Moti content via the Public API

If you need to work with the content of a Moti outside Motimate (for example to rebuild courses in another system or run custom analysis), your technical team can use the Motimate Public API to export structured data as JSON.

Using Public API v2, it is possible to:

• Fetch a list of Motis in your organization, for example:
  GET /public_api/motis
• Fetch chapters and content blocks for a specific Moti. Make sure you include the blocks in the response, for example:
  GET /public_api/motis/{moti_id}/chapters?include=blocks
• Retrieve the text content and metadata for each block, along with links (URLs) to media files such as images, videos and documents.

To include the content blocks in the chapter response, remember to add ?include=blocks to your request. You can view the Motimate Public API v2 documentation here.

Important details and limitations:

• The export is raw structured data (JSON), not a designed or printable document.
• Media files (for example images and videos) are returned as links to the resources, not embedded inside the JSON itself. Your script or integration needs to download the actual files if you want local copies.

• In some cases, media may be embedded inside rich‑text/HTML in text blocks rather than in separate structured fields. In those cases, your integration may need to parse the HTML for URLs to find all referenced media.

   

To get started with the Public API, make sure your organization has API credentials and follow the “How to Access and Use the Motimate Public API” documentation. Because this requires technical knowledge, we recommend involving your IT team or integration partner.

Exporting completion and progress data

If your main goal is to report on who has completed what (rather than exporting the course content itself), you have two main options:

1. Use Insights Reports (Excel)

   Org Admins and Group Admins can generate Excel reports from Insights showing completion and progress for Motis, Packages and Learning Paths. These reports are usually the easiest way to get a human‑readable overview of training usage.

    

2. Use the Public API for reporting (advanced)

   The Public API provides endpoints for exporting completion and progress data for your users and courses. This is useful if you want to feed Motimate data into external BI tools, internal data warehouses, or other systems.
