Not that am aware of, but I'll check the files and see if I find anything.

Database export is currently not available.
It's unclear exactly when/if it will be since demand thus far hasn't been very high.

It would be useful for 3rd party apps to load up some stuff and be lighter on network requests. Though, there's really not too many 3rd party apps. Nor much that actually use db exports as far I'm concerned.

I personally would be glad to see an addition like db exports to this site too, so future applications could rely on that for lots of stuff.

I would definitely appreciate database exports being available similar to on e621

Database exports are now available: https://e6ai.net/db_exports

Something I noticed, those DB exports don't seem to include directors, although it includes artists. e6ai doesn't have "artists" though, so that file is practically empty for e6ai's DB export of that.

AFAIK the "artists" feature doesn't exist in the e6ai code base, but some bits of it sometimes "leak through" from merging in the latest e621 changes, and that what likely happened here.

For some reason I was thinking the DB export for that was relying on tags that were categorized as artist, but now I guess it makes sense that it's relying on the actual artists feature of e621 because I see now that it mentions linked artist users in the DB, and linking users to tags like that is only a thing there.
