How to Export Your Data
CSV exports, PNG snapshots, API access, and data warehouse integrations - all the ways to get your data out.
Export Options Overview
📤
What export options does Affogata offer?
Four main ways to get your data out:
(a) CSV Export - download up to 100,000 data points with full metadata,
(b) PNG Export - screenshot any dashboard widget for presentations,
(c) API Access - stream structured data to your tools programmatically,
(d) Data Warehouse Integration (DIL) - direct connection to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Looker, Tableau. Each serves a different need.
📊
What data is included in exports?
CSV exports include full metadata for each data point: post content, author, platform/network, publication date, sentiment (positive/negative/neutral), engagement count (likes, replies, shares), reach, language, location (when available), and any labels or tags you've applied. It's the complete picture.
CSV Exports
Go to your search page, apply any filters you need (date range, sentiment, network), click the Export button (download icon) in the toolbar, select CSV format, and the download starts. For large exports, you'll receive an email notification when the file is ready. Files open correctly in Excel with proper encoding for special characters and emojis.
📏
What's the export limit?
Currently up to 100,000 data points per CSV export. This includes all metadata fields. For most use cases this covers weeks or months of data. If you need more, our API or data warehouse integration can handle unlimited volumes.
🔍
Can I export filtered results only?
Yes! Apply filters first (by date, sentiment, network, keyword, engagement range, etc.), then export. Only the filtered results will be included. This is great for targeted analysis - for example, export only negative Steam reviews from the last 30 days for your product team.
Dashboard PNG Exports
🖼️
How do I export dashboard visuals?
Hover over any widget on your dashboard (sentiment chart, topic breakdown, engagement graph, etc.) and click the download/export icon that appears. Choose PNG format. The image is ready to paste into presentations, reports, or Slack messages. All charts, graphs, and pie charts are exportable.
📑
Tips for presentation-ready exports
Use the date range selector to set the exact period before exporting. Switch between chart types (line, bar, pie) to find the best visual for your story. Use Compare Mode to export side-by-side brand comparisons. Each PNG includes the title and legend so it's self-explanatory.
API & Data Warehouse
🔌
How does API access work?
Our API lets you programmatically pull structured data into any tool. Data comes pre-tagged with sentiment, topics, engagement metrics, and more. You get daily API units based on your plan. Use it to feed Looker dashboards, internal tools, or custom analysis scripts. Documentation and API keys are provided during setup.
🏗️
How do I connect to my data warehouse?
We support direct integration with Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and other warehouses. Once connected, Affogata streams structured tables directly into your data environment. No coding required - our team sets up the connection. You can then correlate feedback data with in-app events, revenue, churn, and other business metrics.
💡
Which export method should I use?
Quick one-time analysis: CSV. Presentations and reports: PNG. Recurring automated analysis: API. Enterprise-wide data strategy: Data Warehouse. Many teams use a combination - PNG for weekly presentations, CSV for ad-hoc deep dives, and API/warehouse for continuous BI integration.
