# csvbase
A simple website for sharing table data.
## What it's about
1. Paste your CSV file
2. Get a table on the web you can share with people via url
3. They can export it into pandas/excel/spark/whatever
In short: making it really easy to share dataframes.
## For example
A good demo is
[meripaterson/stock-exchanges](https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges),
which is an up-to-date list of the world's stock exchanges.
If you wanted to load that dataset into
[pandas](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas), for example, you would run:
```python
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> # you just put in the same url as on the website, bit of magic here
>>> stock_exchanges = pd.read_csv("https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges")
>>> stock_exchanges

```
It's just as easy to:
1. [Export to XLSX (MS Excel)](https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges/export)
2. [Export to R](https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges/export)
3. Execute create/read/update/delete operations via a [simple REST API](https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges/docs)
4. [And get the CSV back as well, of course](https://csvbase.com/meripaterson/stock-exchanges/export)
