This version is kept for as long as this site exists, and its URL can be cited. Its files change only for the reasons the terms give, and each change is recorded in its notes. The publisher's file is here as source.csv, byte for byte.

Files

  • data.csv20 MB CSV: UTF-8 without a byte-order mark, RFC 4180 quoting, one header row using the normalised field names. Opens in Excel, Numbers and Sheets.
  • data.csv-metadata.json2.5 KB
  • data.csv.gz1.1 MB CSV (gzip): The same CSV, gzipped, at about a tenth of the size. curl, pandas, DuckDB and R read it directly.
  • data.duckdb DuckDB: One DuckDB database with a records table of typed columns, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. It attaches read-only over HTTPS, so DuckDB, Python and R can query it without downloading it.
  • data.ndjson50 MB NDJSON: The first line is the provenance header, then one JSON object per line. For streaming and for tools that read line by line.
  • data.parquet513 KB Parquet: Columnar and typed. The smallest download and the fastest to query. Reads directly in DuckDB, pandas, Polars, Arrow and Spark. The provenance header is in the file metadata.
  • data.sqlite20 MB SQLite: One database with a records table, a fields table and a publicdata metadata table. Open it with any SQLite client.
  • data.xlsx6.3 MB Excel: One workbook with a records sheet of 200,143 typed rows, a fields sheet and a publicdata sheet with the provenance. Dates are real Excel dates. Opens in Excel, Numbers, LibreOffice and Sheets.
  • manifest.json1.7 KB
  • schema.json1.0 KB
  • schema.sql816 B
  • source.csv19 MB

JSON is not offered because the table is 50.4 MB as NDJSON, over the 50 MB limit for JSON.

SHA256SUMS holds the SHA-256 of every file in this version under the name it downloads as. Check what you downloaded with sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS in the same folder. On a Mac, use shasum -a 256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS.
