Data Export

The data export provides a daily snapshot of all the public data available in the Prosper Marketplace at the point in time in which the snapshot is taken.

Data Export v1.2.6

Our data export format is XML and has 2 versions. The public and private xml data file contains all publicly availble data as of the date in which it is run. Each version has both a complete data download and a daily differential download.

Converting the XML into CSV

Our friend RateLadder has created a utility that converts Prosper XML to CSV for use in programs like MS Access, MatLab, and SASS. Get the XML to CSV converter here. Please note that these CSV files are larger than can be opened in Excel. If you do open with Excel some rows will be missing.

ProsperAPI Open Source Project

We are incubating an open source project to handle all aspects of coding to the Prosper API. All members of the community are encouraged to join and contribute. Within the XML and database management realm is the Prosper Data Manager or PDM for short. ProsperAPI on SourceForge

Prosper Data Manager

The data export file can be easily imported into any database for which there is a JDBC driver. Using regular expression matching algorithm and a config file make this tool work without recompilation regardless of the file type.

Other features of PDM:

• Schema Creation
• Bulk file import of both public and private exports
• Daily diff import of both public and private exports
