Does anyone know a good way of exporting my rdio "history" data? I have years of data in there.


Ah here's a solution: make a cURL request for all your history data.

Simple way to get a well formatted request:

* Go to the history tab (http://www.rdio.com/people/username/history/) and pull up the inspector

* Scroll down once or twice and go to the network tab

* Find the `getHistoryForUser` request and right-click it, select "copy as cURL"

* Paste into your editor and change the "start" param to 0 and the "count" param to 99999

* Make the cURL request. Boom, no rate limiting. I got 3.5mb of history (though it seems to only go back 1 year.


Thanks!!


this tweet (linked elsewhere in the thread) references a Chrome extension that lets you export any of your playlists or your entire collection to a CSV: https://twitter.com/frank_chimero/status/666373969394708481


Ah I've already done that, but I also have a listening history I want to preserve. I should have been using last.fm :(

I did manage to get the past year though, via a comment below.


How do you want it?
