API Data Access
Apologies in advance for my lack of API understanding / knowledge. We're looking at going back X amount of years to data mine community topics or posts for categorization purposes.
1) Any limitations as to how far back API access can go, and/or how much data can be pulled at once?
2) Would this be a fairly easy process to acquire the data in csv or xlsx format which can then be handed over to our data analytics team?
Hey,
I don't know the limits but knowing your community that's going to be a massive amount of data to pull via API so I would guess your hit some kind of an issue trying to pull so much data and may be limited to a number of batches, that said once you have built your call I am sure you can format the data howeve you want but I think default would be XML
Out of interest what level of detail do you want to export and have you also considered the ability to bulk export search results as a csv? Alternatively there may be something Li support could do as a one off export?
Hope this helps
