Hey @Peter, we should be able to enable this relatively easy. We’re using Django REST framework and it can do this out of the box. I want to discuss with the dev team whether we want to do this. I’ll get back to you on this.

I am asking because App Inventor will get a Chart component in the next release if everything goes as planned. You can get data from every sensor in your phone or via bluetooth or from datasources like csv or json.

You can read more about it here.

I made some code in python to make this feature possible. see this here: [Export baserow data as csv](https://community.baserow.io/t/export-baserow-data-as-csv/3277). I hope to contribute with what little knowledge I have at the moment.
