Google Takeout provides a way to export your Buzz and Google+ Stream posts as HTML. Included in these HTML documents are special class attributes, or microformats, which give context about what each piece of information contained in the post means. This approach makes the contents easily viewable by humans and similarly easy to parse by computers. The list of microformat classes used in the HTML output are listed below:Classes that conform to the hCard specification: vcard - The top-level container for data representing a person, organization, or any entity defined in vCard fn - The full name of the author of a post or comment photo - A photo of the author url - The profile URL for the author uid - A unique identifier for the author geo - The geo-location of the post adr - vCard address string latitude - vCard latitude longitude - vCard longitude Classes that conform to the hAtom specification: hfeed - The top-level feed in Atom, this is the container for all parts of a particular post, including comments, photos, attachments, etc. hentry - An individual entry in an Atom feed -- usually a single post or comment entry-title - The title for the post/comment entry-content - The HTML content of the post/comment author - The author of the post/comment, specified using hCard published - The date that the post/comment was originally published updated - The last date that the post/comment was edited id - The ID uniquely representing an post/comment Classes derived from the Activity Stream Atom spec: activity - Denotes an Atom entry that contains data about a post service - The service from which this activity came from -- either Buzz or Google+ Classes derived from the Google+ Platform JSON data format: comment - Denotes an Atom entry that contains data about a comment on a post liked - Users who liked, or have +1ed, the post reshare - Users who reshared the post. visibility - The visibility of the post within Buzz/Google+ attachment - Other media or links embedded in the post object-type - The type of attachment to the post original-content - The text of the post before being html formatted Other classes used within the export format that do not correspond to any specification: permalink - The permanent URL of the post or individual comment reshared-from - Text describing the original author and post for a shared activity map - An image of a static map to the location, if a location is included on the post annotation - Commentary information from the author on an activity shared from someone else |
