What is CSV Getter?
CSV Getter is a data export middleware that turns your Airtable bases, Notion databases, Google Sheets, and uploaded CSV files into live, shareable URLs. Every time someone (or something) hits your URL, they get the latest data — in CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, or Excel-compatible format.
The Problem CSV Getter Solves
Platforms like Airtable and Notion are great for managing data, but getting that data out — into spreadsheets, dashboards, scripts, or other tools — typically requires manual exports, Zapier workflows, or custom API integrations.
CSV Getter eliminates that friction. You connect your data source once, and get a permanent URL that always returns current data.
How It Works
┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
│ Data Source │──────▶│ CSV Getter │──────▶│ Your App / │
│ (Airtable, │ │ Backend │ │ Spreadsheet │
│ Notion, │ │ │ │ / Script │
│ CSV, etc.) │ │ Fetches & │ │ │
└──────────────┘ │ Transforms │ └──────────────┘
└──────────────┘Connect — Link your Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets account (or upload a CSV).
Configure — Select a table/database, choose fields, pick an output format, and name your endpoint.
Use — Access your endpoint URL from anywhere. CSV Getter fetches the latest data from your source, transforms it to your chosen format, and returns it.
Data is fetched in real time — there's no caching or syncing delay. Every request hits the source.

json_split
Columns and data arrays
JSON (Index)
json_index
Keyed by row index
JSON (Columns)
json_columns
Keyed by column name
JSON (Values)
json_values
Array of arrays (no headers)
JSON (Table)
json_table
Schema + data

Key Concepts
Endpoints
An endpoint is a configured connection between a data source and a URL. Each endpoint has:
A unique URL (e.g.,
https://api.csvgetter.com/abc123def456)A data source (Airtable table, Notion database, etc.)
Selected fields/columns
A default output format
Optional authentication (Bearer token)
Credits
Each time your endpoint URL is accessed (a "hit"), it uses one credit. Preview/sample requests from the dashboard are free. Credits reset monthly with your subscription. See Credits for details.
URL Parameters
Every endpoint URL supports query parameters that modify the output dynamically. You can change the format, filter data with SQL, add timestamps, trigger email notifications, and more — all without changing the endpoint configuration. See URL Parameters.
Scheduled Jobs
Paid users can set up scheduled jobs that automatically hit their endpoint URLs on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Jobs can export to Google Drive, update Google Sheets, or trigger other integrations. Notifications are sent on success or failure.
Authentication
Endpoints can optionally require a Bearer token. When enabled, requests must include an Authorization: Bearer <token> header. This lets you share your endpoint URL without giving unrestricted access.
