How to Export Domain Data
Export domain data as CSV for spreadsheets, JSON for integrations, or PDF for client reports. Here is how to access each export format.
How to Export Domain Data
ElasticDomain supports three export formats — CSV, JSON, and PDF — each suited to different use cases.
CSV Export
Best for: Spreadsheet analysis, portfolio audits, bulk data review in Excel or Google Sheets.
Exporting the Full Domain List
- Go to your Domains List.
- Use filters to select the domains you want (by folder, type, health score, etc.), or leave unfiltered for all domains.
- Click the Export button in the toolbar.
- Select CSV.
- The file downloads immediately.
What CSV Includes
The CSV contains one row per domain with columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| domain | Domain name |
| type | OWNED/COMPETITOR/WATCHLIST/CLIENT/INVESTMENT |
| folder | Folder assignment |
| tags | Comma-separated tags |
| healthScore | 0-100 |
| riskScore | 0-100 |
| whoisExpiry | Expiry date |
| daysUntilExpiry | Integer |
| registrar | Registrar name |
| sslExpiry | SSL certificate expiry |
| sslDaysRemaining | Integer |
| isBlacklisted | true/false |
| lastScanned | Timestamp |
JSON Export
Best for: Integrations, feeding data into custom dashboards, programmatic processing.
JSON export follows the same filter logic as CSV but returns structured objects per domain including nested WHOIS, DNS, SSL, and security summary data.
Access JSON export from the same Export button → JSON.
Alternatively, use the API to retrieve domain data programmatically — see the API guide for endpoints.
PDF Reports
Best for: Client-facing deliverables, point-in-time audit documentation, executive summaries.
PDF reports cost 2 credits each and contain a formatted multi-page document with all scan data for a single domain or group of domains.
- Go to Reports in the sidebar.
- Click New Report.
- Select domains to include.
- Choose PDF.
- Click Generate.
The PDF is stored in your Reports history and can be re-downloaded at any time without consuming additional credits.
Bulk Export of Scan History
To export historical scan data (not just the current state):
- Open a domain detail page.
- Click the Scans tab.
- Click Export Scan History → select format.
This exports all stored scan snapshots for that domain including timestamps, scores, and detected changes.
Tips
- For monthly client reports, schedule a full domain scan followed by a PDF export at the start of each month
- CSV exports are useful for identifying portfolio gaps — sort by daysUntilExpiry to find all domains expiring soon
- JSON exports are the right format if you are building a custom monitoring dashboard that pulls from ElasticDomain data
