# Consul KV Export
Command: `consul kv export`
The `kv export` command is used to retrieve KV pairs for the given
prefix from Consul's KV store, and write a JSON representation to
stdout. This can be used with the command "consul kv import" to move entire
trees between Consul clusters.
## Usage
Usage: `consul kv export [options] [PREFIX]`
#### API Options
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_client" %>
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_server" %>
## Examples
To export the tree at "vault/" in the key value store:
```
$ consul kv export vault/
# JSON output
```
