Public URL for Downloadable CSV File

Hey Baserow team,

I’ve noticed a feature that would be really helpful for my workflow. Could you add an option to share a view as a downloadable CSV file?

Right now, I can share a view or download a CSV, but I can’t get a public URL for a CSV that updates/downloads automatically. This feature exists in Google Sheets, where you can get a URL like this:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/[spreadsheet_id]/export?format=csv

Having something similar in Baserow would be great. It would let me use tools like WP All Import to automatically pull data from Baserow into WordPress.

Could you consider adding this feature?

hey @avviodigital, thanks for sharing your idea, I’ll discuss it with the team. :ok_hand:

Hey @avviodigital, we’re planning to implement a similar feature: Exporting a publicly shared grid view (#1213) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab. It’s high on our development priority list. :blush:

Hey @olgatrykush, is it possible yet to share a URL that automatically downloads a table in CSV format when opened?

Hello @avviodigital, when sharing a view, there is a toggle to allow exporting the shared view:

It won’t automatically download the table as a CSV when opened, but you can download it by clicking this button:

This is a Premium feature :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @olgatrykush, thanks for implementing the export toggle feature. However, this doesn’t solve the use case I originally requested.

What was requested: A direct URL that automatically serves/downloads the CSV/XML when accessed (like Google Sheets’ export URL).

With a direct link, I could set up automated imports in WordPress (WP All Import) or any tool that accepts URLs.

Example of what I’m looking for: https://baserow.io/database/views/[view_id]/export.csv or https://baserow.io/database/views/[view_id]/export.xml

Hey @avviodigital, we suggest using automation tools for this, as we don’t plan to build it as a native feature in Baserow due to performance reasons. Converting all values and preparing the file takes time. If more users request this, we’ll revisit the discussion. :slightly_smiling_face:
