Exports
Description
Export allows you to extract files from your database within several formats (GTFS, NeTEx, Ara).
Consult the Exports
You can see the exports made by your organization in “Workbench” - “Exports”.
For each export: Status, Name, Export type, Referential, Started at, Duration, Created by, are displayed.
You can filter the exports by:
their name

For each export the star wheel of every export allows to launch the accessible actions (see, download).
Launch an export
To export the data from Chouette, you need to click on “New export” and fill in the template.
All exports offer to filter the exported data:
over a given number of days
on a static period
by keeping data only related to a Line, Carrier or Data Provider
Depending on the type of export requested, additional options may be offered.
When the export is finished you can download the file.
You receive a notification by email after the export is finished.
GTFS Export
A GTFS export is a zip file that will contain .txt files respecting the GTFS format.
The specification of the data exported from Chouette to the GTFS can be found in the document GTFS Export
The GTFS export contains format-specific options.
Prefer referent stop areas: if a stop has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data
Prefer referent companies: if a company has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data
Prefer referent lines: if a line has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data
Ignore parent Stop Places: exported data won’t include Parent Stop Places.
Ignore extended route types: replace the GTFS extended route types by matching basic route types during the export.
NeTEx Export
A NeTEx export is a zip file that will contain XML files organized according to the selected profile (and associated XSDs)
The NeTEx export contains format-specific options.
Profile: Several profiles can be used in the NeTEx export
None: all data is saved in a single xml file

Ara Export
An Ara export is a CSV file containing data from the selected repository in Ara format which can then be used for real time.

Chouette keeps the history of workbench exports and associated files.
This retention is limited in time: after a period of 90 days the exports are automatically deleted.
