To create an export you will need to use the ChannelCrawler search tool, to produce a set of channels to export. This step by step guide shows you how to export creator contacts and creator channel details, once you’ve made that search. If you need help with that, there are more links throughout this step by step guide.

Choose how you want the export to output
CSV or JSON - CSV is most common and will give you a simple output with each data field put in a different column in your output. If you are likely to be passing to a machine rather than a person, JSON may be the best option. If you’re not sure, then CSV is the option to choose, as if JSON was best then you would probably already know.
Excel version - Mac or windows - Choose based on the type of device you have. They are very similar so don’t worry too much if you aren’t sure. Include email - there are 3 options which will alter the export and the cost of it.
No - You will only export only channel data. It will be all channels that are in the search, in the example below, only 156.
Yes - You will export channel data of all channels, plus contact data for any channel that we have an associated email address for. In this case it would be 57 channels contact data, but all 156 channels data would be exported. Some channels for which we do not have an email, may still have social media handles, if we have them, you will get them with this option.
Only include channels with email - This will only export channel data we have email addresses for. In this case you would export only 57 channels data and the associated contacts.
