How can I export Altitude data for usage elsewhere?
In most cases, using the getRoadSegments API is needed to return the relevant geographic information required for ShapeFile and GeoJSON file exports.
We support CSV data exports natively within the Altitude UI. After running an analysis, click on the “Download” icon shown on the top left of the portal:
In the drop down menu that follows, click on the .csv option that best suits your particular use case. A notification banner pops up to indicate the start of export to CSV. Once the export is completed, you receive an email informing you that the CSV file is ready, and you can save the file locally.
For Altitude API users, your programming language of choice likely offers options to transform the JSON returned by our API calls into a data and file format for further export.
While shapefiles cannot be exported from our Altitude portal directly, the Altitude API can be used to export data which can then be transformed into Shapefile or GeoJSON. We offer Python templates that outline the transformation and export of data returned by the API, which can be found here. Reach out to your Altitude representative for support if you are having issues with the template.
