How do I form the export URL? #5

The instructions say to visit http://v1-site.com/TRIGGER/exporter/export. It's clear that some of the URL contains placeholders that need to be filled in with specific info, but it's not clear what those are.

What should v1-site.com be replaced with? I'm assuming the URL I'm running Statamic from. If that's true, something like example.com or mywebsite.com might be a more understandable placeholder
What should TRIGGER be replaced with?

If your Statamic version 1 site is my-statamic-site.com then you should go to http://my-statamic-site.com/TRIGGER/exporter/export. No other substitutions necessary.

Oooooh, v1 like Statamic v1. I get it! I guess that implies this won't work for exporting data from Statamic 2?

Right, this project exports data from Statamic 1, so you can then import it into Statamic 2.

Thanks @jasonvarga, that makes sense.

I updated the readme to make it a bit clearer, sorry for the confusion!
