# ExportClassifier

Exports a classifier to a file, so that it can be imported into a different training database.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`classifier` | The name of the classifier to export. | Yes
`classifierpath` | The path of the file to create, containing the data. Specify an absolute path, or a path relative to the Media Server executable file. Media Server must be permitted to write to the path (see AllowedOutputDirectoryCSVs). | Yes
`includeimages` | A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to export the training images and image labels. You can run image classification without the images, but future enhancements to image classification might require retraining and this is not possible without the images. | No
`includemetadata` | A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to export the custom metadata you have added to image classes. | No

## Example

The following example exports the classifier named "VehicleTypes":

    /action=ExportClassifier&classifier=VehicleTypes
                            &classifierpath=./exported/VehicleTypes.dat

## Response

This action is asynchronous, so Media Server always returns success accompanied by a token. You can use this token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the status of your request.
