As you can see, the CSV format is optimized for viewing in Excel or similar programs, whereas the XML format contains extra data (such as IDs) that are not likely useful to people who are just downloading the data for analysis in a spreadsheet.

Transaction Walking

The transaction list is configured to provide up to 1000 entries per request. It is also configured to allow you to view up to one week's worth of data. If the first 1000 entries you view stretch back further than a week, then you will not need to do any walking. However, if you have enough entries in your transaction list that 1000 is less than a week, you can walk backwards in the log to get more data.

Walking is performed by specifying the beforeTransID parameter as the lowest transID you have seen so far. You will then get another page with entries. This process can be repeated until you have gone back a week. The server will return an error if you attempt to go back farther.

Programmatically, it will be easiest to just loop while you are getting the max number of entries from the server, stopping when the server returns less than the max (i.e. you get 853 entries in a pull), the oldest entry is over a week old, or the server returns an error.
