Hi, My apologies, wanted to sit down and try a few things with WU before replying.
It does indeed look like we can get UV from the XML. I have no idea why non-XML queries do not return UV, maybe just have to put it down to another of the vagaries of WU. From the quick look I had this morning I see no reason why a XML based import cannot be implemented, wee_import was written with a very modular structure so hopefully it is easy to implement. I cannot see any downsides, other than the fact that the XML response seems about 10 time the byte size of an equivalent CSV response (there is a lot of repeated crud in the XML response) - probably not an issue these days though. I will put it on the list to do, hopefully to be included in the next release (as long as Tom does not spring 3.8.1 on us in the week or so). Thanks. Gary PS. In answer to your last question, I am not aware of any simple way to import UV data from WU. Your WU data is not going anywhere (I hope) so if I get the XML import working there should be no reason why you cannot just add in the missing UV data later.
