Export formats
Excel, CSV, JSON, and Markdown — exactly what each download contains and when to use it.
PrevIQ exports come in two flavors: reports (one lab's curated summary) and bulk exports (any filtered slice of the raw rollups). Both are available from the app and the API.
Report formats
From the Reports page or the
/reports/client/{vendor_id} endpoint:
| Format | File | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| JSON | .json |
The full structured summary — same data the inline preview uses. |
| Excel | .xlsx |
A formatted workbook, ready to share with clients. |
| CSV | .zip |
One CSV per syndrome, plus a methodology note text file. |
| Markdown | .md |
A plain-text summary for pasting into docs, tickets, or email. |
Note
The CSV report is delivered as a ZIP because a client summary spans multiple syndromes — each gets its own CSV, and the methodology footnote ships as a sidecar file.
Bulk export formats
From the Explore page's export action or the
/export/{format} endpoints. These return every row matching your current
filters (syndrome, vendor, organism, min tested, grouping level):
| Format | File | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | .csv |
Spreadsheets, quick analysis. |
| Excel | .xlsx |
Sharing; frozen header row for easy scrolling. |
| JSON | .json |
Feeding another system; includes a meta block echoing your filters. |
Bulk export columns
Every bulk CSV/Excel row contains:
Columns
Vendor, Syndrome, Panel, Organism,
Tested, Detected, Prevalence Rate,
Sample Size Tier, Clinically Reportable,
CI 95% Lower, CI 95% Upper,
Date Range Start, Date Range End
Tip
Rates and CI bounds are written as percentages (e.g.
15.2000%). The Clinically Reportable column isYes/No(mirrors the Tier A/B vs. C distinction).
Which should I use?
Sharing with a client
Excel report — it's formatted and self-contained.
Loading into a BI tool or spreadsheet
Bulk CSV or bulk Excel from Explore, filtered to the slice you want.
Integrating with another system
JSON — or skip files entirely and call the API directly.
Dropping a summary into a doc or email
Markdown report.
Filtering before you export
A bulk export always reflects the current filters. To export "everything UTI-related for one
lab," set Syndrome = UTI and Vendor = your lab, then export. Setting Min tested also lets
you exclude small samples from the file.
- Automate it via the API — Build export URLs programmatically and pull files on a schedule.
