# Execute Export

Executes an export against one or more ZoomInfo Person or Company IDs. You cannot pass both
person and company IDs together — `object` says which kind `fields.id` holds. They're all
handled together as a single run, not one at a time.

Returns 202 Accepted with the newly created run, in `PENDING` status — check its status via
[Get Execution Status](ref:ExportsController_getExecutionStatus).
Returns 400 if `fields.id` is empty.
Returns 404 if the export doesn't exist.
Returns 422 if the export has been deactivated. [List Exports]
(ref:ExportsController_listExports) does not return inactive exports, so this is most likely
to happen when the export was deactivated after you listed it, or you're reusing a cached
`exportId`.
