About csvbase

csvbase is a simple website for sharing table data — with a REST API

Full multi-format support

All tables are available in multiple formats as a simple download, including:
- Apache Parquet
- Microsoft Excel
- JSON (and "JSON lines")
- and of course, CSV
Just add ".parquet", ".xlsx", ".csv" to any table url
- or use the dropdown on the table page
csvbase can act as a data source for Microsoft Excel
- and many other tools

Easy API

csvbase's REST API follows the design of the website
- each table url is also an API url
HTTP verbs are used
- GET to get the data
- PUT to create/overwrite a table
- DELETE to delete
- POST to bulk add rows
Authenticate via HTTP Basic Auth
- not required for reading public tables
