After a Squid finishes running, all collected data is saved and ready to download as a CSV file. You can grab the results from a single run or download everything across all runs in one combined file — whichever fits your workflow.

​
Download results from an individual run

You can download results from any individual run, including the most recent one.
  1. Scroll down to the Runs table below the live console.
  2. Find the run you want.
  3. Click the download icon (the small downward arrow) on the right side.
Download results for an individual run from the Runs table
The CSV file downloads instantly. This method works whether you’re downloading the latest run or a past one.

​
Download results from all runs at once

Need all your data in one go? Click the big green Download button at the top right of the Squid page — next to the Launch button.
Download all runs as a merged CSV
This downloads a single CSV file with data from every completed run of that Squid, merged together. It’s the fastest way to pull everything without downloading runs one by one.

​
Can I export results to Google Sheets?

Yes. You can set up a Squid to automatically export results to a Google Sheet after every run.
  • Select Export data from last run to export only the latest run.
  • Select Export data from all runs to append every run’s data below the previous results instead of overwriting.
The Google Sheets export applies to future runs only. Past runs are not retroactively exported.
See the full guide: Export to Google Sheets.

​
Can I download results as an Excel file?

lobstr.io does not export directly in Excel (.xlsx) format. All downloads are CSVs — a universal spreadsheet format that every major tool supports. Converting a CSV to Excel takes a few clicks: How to convert a CSV file to Excel.

​
How long is my data available?

lobstr.io keeps your data for 28 days on premium plans (7 days on the free plan) after each Squid run.
Data retention window shown on lobstr.io
That means:
  • You can download your run results anytime during that window.
  • You can re-download the same run as many times as you need — no limit.
  • After 28 days, the data is automatically deleted from lobstr.io’s servers and can’t be recovered.
For long-term storage, use the Google Sheets export or save your CSV files locally as soon as each run completes.
