Export the results to csv

[martgnz]

It would be awesome to export the results of our queries to a csv file, just in case :)

I thought about it but it's not trivial to have the results flatten but keeping them readable. I don't think a CSV is the best format for that.

JSON is probably more readable and easier, and if you want a CSV you can always build one from the JSON output. You can access the API here for example http://wikiwatchdog.com/watchdog.py?domain=cia.gov

What do you think? In the case you still prefer a CSV, which information would you like in there? Which would be a possible header you'd like?

Thanks for the link, I was wondering how to access the API. Maybe you could add a link to each result with the JSON file in the web interface? I can fill another issue.

I like all the information the JSON file gives, is fine for me :)

One more question, how can I access to the JSON for different languages than English?

Short answer: use the "lang" option like http://wikiwatchdog.com/watchdog.py?domain=cia.gov&lang=it

Longer answer: You can find a complete explanation by clicking on the "More info..." link in the main page (right column) http://wikiwatchdog.com/
The links are still wrong, I need to fix them after the migration from toolserver to wikimedia labs, however everything else should be ok.

About the link you can easily compute it http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/:lang/:domain/:pageid/:revisionid
i would prefer not to add it to the output because it would make it much bigger
