  title: Amplitude Behavioral Cohorts API
  description: The Amplitude Behavioral Cohorts API allows developers to list, export, and upload cohorts in Amplitude. Cohorts are groups of users defined by shared behavioral patterns or properties. This API supports downloading cohort membership lists, creating new cohorts from external data, and retrieving cohort metadata. It is commonly used for syncing audience segments with marketing platforms, CRMs, and other downstream tools.
