Exporting Your Audit Data: CSV and JSON from BearAudit
How to export verifications to CSV and dashboard summaries to JSON. Use exports for clients, developers, or your own reporting. All data stays local.
BearAudit keeps all crawl and verification data on your machine. When you need to share it or feed it into another tool, use the built-in exports.
Verifications to CSV
From the Verifications view for a property:
- Filter or scroll to the set of pages you care about (e.g. all pages, or only those with “meta” issues).
- Use Export (or Save verifications CSV). BearAudit opens a save dialog; choose where to save the file.
- The CSV includes the data you see in the list: URL, issue category, message, severity, and related fields. Encoding is UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel opens it correctly.
Use it for: Handing a list of fixes to developers, sending a report to a client, or importing into a spreadsheet for tracking. You can sort by URL or category and assign owners.
Dashboard summary to JSON
From the Dashboard for a property:
- Use Export dashboard summary (or the equivalent action).
- Choose a save location. The file name includes the property name and date.
- The JSON contains high-level metrics: total pages, pages with issues, non-200 count, total words, average words per page, image counts, internal/external links, redirect stats, response times, and issue count by category.
Use it for: Snapshot reports, comparing before/after a redesign, or feeding into internal dashboards. The structure is stable so you can script against it.
Your data stays local
Exports are generated from the data already stored by BearAudit. Nothing is sent to a server. If you crawl again later, export again to get an updated CSV or JSON—useful for monthly or quarterly audits.
