Extract content from Perch Runway?

You could potentially create a Perch template to write/export content in the format that you want?

Maybe you could describe a bit more in detail what you’re looking for because the answer could be as simple as dumping the database to writing a custom app to perform excel exports from the CMS. It really depends what you’re looking for.

Sorry... are you looking at setting up a scraper to aggregate info from your own site?

Why? You can use a template to output the content in the format you need, then use something like curl or wget to request the file and save it to disk.

Could either of you elaborate on how this is done, I've just been asked by a client if its possible to output sales figures from shop.

The original question was not about Perch Shop. So, my answer was about website content like blog posts and was to create a specific Perch template (like you would do normally to display your website content) to output the specific fields that you need, for example using perch_content_custom. The file format I had in mind was .json but that might not be what you want for Perch Shop.

I don't have any direct experience with Shop. Are there any built-in export to .csv functions?

There is! Just seen the link will see if this does the job.
