Data Export

Export everyone who matches a search as a file, once or on a schedule. Data Export lives in the dashboard at app.crustdata.com/data-exports. There is no API for it.

Create an export

Pick People or Companies

Fixed once you save.

Choose the filter

Pick a template, or describe your own in plain English.

Template cards and the Describe your own box

Describe a change refines it. Edit the query opens the raw JSON.

Choose the columns

One column per field, with a recommended set already selected.

The column picker with the Current employment group open

The picker starts on Recommended for you; the link beneath shows every group. Both list only the fields your team can read. If a saved export’s columns stop being readable, editing it drops them.

Name it, then set size, cadence, and format

The match count and credit estimate update as you go.

Name, number of entries, cadence, format, and the credit estimate

Review and start

Accept the terms, then Start export. The first run starts immediately.

Filters

An export filter is the same filter tree that Person Search and Company Search accept.

{
  "op": "and",
  "conditions": [
    { "field": "taxonomy.categories", "type": "[.]", "value": "FinTech" },
    { "field": "funding.last_round_type", "type": "=", "value": "series_a" }
  ]
}

An export rejects natural-language ranking through search.query and custom sorts. Sort the file after you download it. For fields and operators, see the Person Search reference and the Company Search reference.

Schedules

Cadence	What happens
Once	Runs once, right after you save.
Daily	Every day, around this time.
Weekly	Every week, same day and time.
Monthly	Every month, same day.

Your rows per run decide which cadences you are offered.

Rows per run	Cadences available
Up to 1,000,000	Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly
1,000,001 to 10,000,000	Once, Weekly, Monthly
Over 10,000,000	Once, Monthly

Run now triggers an extra run at any time, including on a paused export.
Pause schedule stops future runs. Resume schedule waits one full period before the next run, so a daily export resumed today runs tomorrow.
Missed runs are never replayed. An overdue export runs once, then returns to its cadence.
Three failed scheduled runs in a row pause the export.
Edits apply to the next run. A run in progress keeps the configuration it started with.

Files

Both formats download gzipped.

Format	Shape
CSV	One column per selected field, in selection order. Opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
JSONL	One JSON object per line, nested like the API.

Lists in CSV

List fields spread across numbered columns named path[i].leaf. Selecting experience.employment_details.past.title gives you experience.employment_details.past[0].title, experience.employment_details.past[1].title, and so on. Every row gets as many slots as the widest row needs. The list fields are education.schools and current and past employment for people, and basic_info.all_domains, basic_info.markets, funding.investors, locations.all_office_addresses, revenue.public_markets.stock_symbols, and the taxonomy lists for companies. Pick JSONL to keep the nesting.

Limits

Rows per run. Prefilled with 100,000, or your ceiling if that is lower. The default ceiling is 1,000,000 and your team’s may differ. A search matching more rows than your cap still runs, writes up to the cap, and marks the run capped.
Concurrency. One run at a time per export, two per team. A run that cannot start is skipped and recorded, not queued.

Need more than the ceiling? Contact us about a managed export.

Runs

Every run lands in the export’s history with its status, rows written out of rows matched, credits, duration, and a download link. Expand a run for its completion report, which shows how many rows carried a value in each column.

The run history with a completion report and the export configuration

Status	What it means
Queued	Accepted, waiting to start.
Running	Writing rows now. Cancel it to stop early.
Completed	Finished. There is always a file, even when nothing matched.
Partial	Stopped early. The file holds the rows written so far.
Failed	No file. Costs nothing.
Cancelled	You stopped it. The file keeps the rows written so far.
Skipped	Never started, so no file and no charge.

Download links are minted on click and last one hour. Anyone with the link can download the file.

Pricing

A run bills per row written, at your plan’s Person Search or Company Search rate. Premium filters and columns add their own per-row charge.

Previews are free.
Failed and skipped runs cost nothing.
A run that stops part-way bills only the rows it wrote.
If your balance will not cover the first run, you can still save. The run is skipped until you top up.

See Pricing for your rate and Credits for your balance.

When a run does not finish

What you see	What happened
Not enough credits	Your balance would not cover the run. Nothing was charged.
Columns no longer permitted	A selected column left your plan. Edit the columns and run again.
A run was already in progress	Wait for it, or cancel it.
Team already had 2 runs in progress	Try again when one finishes.
Timed out	The run exceeded its time limit.
Something went wrong on our side	Ours to fix. Contact support if it repeats.

Running out of credits mid-run stops the run at its next checkpoint, keeps the rows already written, and bills only those. It shows as Partial.

Roles

Role	What you can do
Admin	Create, edit, run, pause, and delete exports, and download files.
Member	View every export and its runs, and download files. No changes.
