Data > Bulk Extract

The Bulk Extract area lets you archive large quantities of data at one time. You can
select results and orders data for a specified period (one month, one quarter, or one
year).

Each data category you select is placed in an individual semicolon-delimited TXT file,
each TXT file is zipped, and you are notified by e-mail when your request has been
completed. After your bulk data is extracted, you can download the zipped files to
your local machine.

note: You can do a bulk extract of data once a week.
