== Downloading ratings and comments ==
You can export your own ratings and comments on the "My ratings" tab in [http://www.mywot.com/user your profile]. The data is updated once a day and the date of last update is shown next to the "Download" button.

== Data format ==
The data is in an XML format. If the export file is larger than 1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte kiB], it's compressed to a ZIP file. Here's an annotated example:

''''

=== Target names ===
Target names are typically host names or IP addresses. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name Internationalized domain names] (IDN) are converted to ASCII according to [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt RFC 3490]. For certain shared hosts (e.g. twitter.com), the target name may also contain part of the path encoded as a subdomain. The encoded subdomain is always lowest in the hierarchy and starts with <tt>_p_</tt> followed by the [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3548.txt RFC 3548] compliant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32 Base32] encoded path. For example:
_p_k5swex3pmzpvi4tvon2a.twitter.com = twitter.com/Web_of_Trust

== Processing large export files ==
Many text editors or XML parsers try to load the entire file into memory, which causes problems for larger export files. You can split the XML file into smaller chunks using [http://www.mywot.com/files/misc/splitwot.pl.txt this Perl script] (or any other XML splitter). For example, to split the file into chunks each containing at most 10000 targets, run the command <tt>perl splitwot.pl export.xml 10000</tt>. If you are using Windows, try [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActivePerl].
