Exporting a list of Companies

[jtesmerapqc]

Is there a way to export a list of companies in my instance? I don't see a bulk export for company objects as I do for leads and custom objects. 

I'm trying to ensure consistency between systems and as of right now I don't have a way to export from Marketo what it knows about companies.

Unless you’re deliberately using the Companies API to manage unique Company IDs (externalCompanyID) you don’t have a first-class store of companies in any case.

The Company field revealed via a lead export is essentially  a flat field, and you can dedupe on it to get the (current) list of values.

Solid, I didn't think of that. Then I can use the list of external company ID's to pull them in batches. Got it.
