Hi everyone, total newbie here, so apologies if this is obvious! 😅
I've been trying out Weights & Biases for a few small projects, but I think I need to cancel my subscription for now. Before I do, I want to make sure I have all my experiment data saved locally. How do I export everything—like all the runs, metrics, and graphs from my projects? Is it a bulk export, or do I have to do it project by project?
I'm mostly using the basic interface and haven't touched the API much. Any simple steps would be a lifesaver! I don't want to lose all my work just because I'm switching things around.
Hey there! Totally get the need to save your work before canceling.
There's no single "export all" button in the UI, unfortunately. The most straightforward way for your situation is to use the Python API. Even if you haven't used it much, this is pretty simple. You can install it with `pip install wandb` and then run a short script to download all runs in a project. You'll get a folder with all the metrics, configs, and summary data.
If you really don't want to touch code, you'll need to go project-by-project. From each run's page, you can use the "Export" menu (three dots) to download a CSV of the run's metrics and configs. It's more tedious, but it works for grabbing the core data. You won't get *everything* like the actual graph data this way though.
I'd really recommend trying the quick API route. One script can loop through all your projects. Let me know if you'd like a snippet to get started.
