Exporting ratings

2009-09-15T13:35:56Z

Timo: /* Data format */

== 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:

''''
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

''''

<'''target''' name="example.com">

</'''target'''>

''''
</'''wot'''>

== 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].
