Exporting your data

Download all inspection records for an apiary as JSON or CSV to share with your veterinarian, researcher, or national beekeeping authority.

Web iOS Android

Why export?

Your inspection data belongs to you. Exporting gives you a local copy that you can share with your veterinarian, submit to a national beekeeping authority, use in a spreadsheet for custom analysis, or archive as a long-term record independent of HivePulse.

Export formats

JSON
Machine-readable format. Preserves all fields including custom fields with their exact values. Best for archiving or importing into another system. The structure matches the HivePulse API contract.
CSV
Spreadsheet-compatible. Each inspection is one row. Opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. Custom fields are included as additional columns. Best for manual analysis or sharing with non-technical stakeholders.
