# Export customer list for billing

As a Reseller you can export the list of companies you manage to CSV or Excel for billing, MSSP reporting, license reconciliation, or partner dashboards. Use a credential with Client Role = **Reseller**. Same endpoint as the export in [List companies with license details →](https://doc.keepnetlabs.com/api-reference/reseller/companies/list-companies-with-license-details); this page focuses on billing and export use cases.

## POST /api/companies/search/export

> Exports the list of companies (with license details) to CSV or Excel. **Test it:** Authorize with Client ID/Secret, then Send — request body is pre-filled (minimal pagination + `exportType: Csv`). Use `exportType: "Excel"` for Excel output.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Automation tools:** Send a non-empty request body (`pageNumber`, `pageSize`, `orderBy`, `ascending`, `filter`, `exportType`). Empty body can cause errors. See [Quickstart → Integration and automation](https://doc.keepnetlabs.com/quickstart#integration-and-automation) and [List companies with license details →](https://doc.keepnetlabs.com/api-reference/reseller/companies/list-companies-with-license-details).
