Basic Extraction Examples
Simple examples to get started with STDM extraction.
Prerequisites
- JWT authentication configured (see Auth Setup)
- Consumer key set:
export SF_CONSUMER_KEY="3MVG9..." - Org alias available in
sf org list
Example 1: Extract Last 7 Days
The simplest extraction - all sessions from the last 7 days:
stdm-extract extract --org prod
Output structure:
./stdm_data/
├── sessions/
│ └── data.parquet
├── interactions/
│ └── data.parquet
├── steps/
│ └── data.parquet
└── messages/
└── data.parquet
Example 2: Extract Last 24 Hours
stdm-extract extract --org prod --days 1
Example 3: Custom Output Directory
stdm-extract extract --org prod --output /data/agentforce/prod
Example 4: Verbose Mode
See detailed progress and timing:
stdm-extract extract --org prod --verbose
Sample output:
🔐 Authenticating to Data Cloud...
Instance URL: https://myorg.my.salesforce.com
📊 Extracting sessions...
Query: SELECT ... FROM ssot__AIAgentSession__dlm WHERE ...
Records: 1,234 (2.3s)
📊 Extracting interactions...
Records: 5,678 (4.1s)
📊 Extracting steps...
Records: 12,345 (8.7s)
📊 Extracting messages...
Records: 9,876 (5.2s)
✅ Extraction complete!
Total records: 29,133
Duration: 20.3s
Output: ./stdm_data/
Example 5: Test Authentication First
Before extracting, verify your setup:
stdm-extract test-auth --org prod
Success:
✅ Authentication successful
Instance URL: https://myorg.my.salesforce.com
Token valid for: 3599 seconds
Failure:
❌ Authentication failed
Error: invalid_grant
Hint: Check certificate expiration with:
openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in ~/.sf/jwt/prod.key
Example 6: Count Records Before Extraction
Check how much data exists without downloading:
stdm-extract count --org prod --dmo sessions
Output:
📊 Record counts for prod:
Sessions: 12,345
Example 7: Extract from Sandbox
Works the same as production - just use the sandbox alias:
# List your orgs
sf org list
# Extract from sandbox
stdm-extract extract --org mysandbox --days 3
