How to export extracted data as JSON

JSON is the right export when the data is going somewhere programmatic rather than into a spreadsheet — a script that processes records, an API you're posting to, or an application that consumes structured input.

Takes about 1 min

Steps

  1. Finish the extraction

    Wait for the run to complete in the side panel.

  2. Choose JSON as the export format

    Your column names become the object keys, so name them the way your downstream code expects.

  3. Download

    The file saves locally like any other download.

Worth knowing

  • Set your column names before extracting — they become the keys, and renaming them afterwards means editing the file.
  • All values export as strings. Numbers, prices and dates need parsing on your side.
  • Very large exports are bounded by your machine's memory, not by any cap in the tool.

Questions

Are numbers exported as numbers?

No — values export as strings, exactly as they appeared on the page. Prices, counts and dates need parsing and normalising in whatever consumes the file.
