Need access to your data outside of the Meltwater platform to create a report? Whether you're using PowerBI to mine content for patterns or you're relying on an offline process for building earned media reports, you can export data from Meltwater.
This article will cover:

The maximum size of results available to export is 20K results at a time to an Excel file and up to 500 results as a PDF. In order to support large-size reports (>10MB), we do not attach the report, but you can download it from the cloud by clicking the download link in the email or via alerts.
If your total results exceed 20K, you have two options for exporting:
Click Download Options prior to selecting any results via the tick boxes, to display these options.
Export the first 20K results
Export a randomized sample of 20K results
Export the first 20K Results
This option will download the first 20K results available. Results are ordered based on your sort type and sort order. You can change your sort type and order by clicking the sorted by drop down, and selecting your preferred options.
Export a randomized sample of 20K results
This option will export a randomized 20K sample from your total results. Some things to note about random sampling.
How the data is randomized: Each result is randomly assigned a number between 0 and 1. Selection is then based on the percentage of results to include in the export, totaling 20K. For example, for 200K results, each result randomly assigned a number between 0 and 0.1 will be included so that 20K results are returned.
There are no special considerations used when randomly selecting results. All results are weighted equally.
Sampling will be evenly distributed across the selected time range. For example, if your results total 200K for a 10-day period, your export would include 2K results per day.
Each random sample export will return different results than the last. For example, if you export a random sample three times, you will have three different data sets.
Exporting from the Meltwater API
If you would like to automate your exports or export larger volumes of data, you can do both via the Meltwater API. Learn more about Exporting Your Data With the Meltwater API.
