Any single record exports as CSV or JSON, free, with no account and no key. Every export carries its provenance inside the file — the agency, the dataset URL, the licence and the effective date travel with the figures.

§02
Bulk export
Not built yet — this is what it will be.
Whole-dataset exports (an entire category, a state, or a fiscal year) will be pre-generated into object storage as Parquet and CSV rather than assembled per request. Generating a multi-hundred-megabyte file on demand is a good way to exhaust a request budget and serve a truncated file to whoever asked.
Until then, the original agency releases are the right bulk source, and they are linked from every dataset in the catalogue. This site does not improve on the raw file — it improves on finding and reading it.
