Hello, world!
Data Basis' mission is to universalize the use of quality data worldwide. For this, we created a tool that allows you to access important resources from various public datasets, such as:
-
Processed Tables: Complete tables, already processed and ready for analysis, available in our public datalake.
-
Original Data: Links with useful information to explore more about the dataset, such as the original source and others.
We have a Data team and volunteers from all over Brazil and abroad who help clean and maintain processed tables. Learn how to be part of it.
Accessing DB processed tables
On our website you'll find the list of all processed tables for each dataset. We also present important information about all tables, such as the list of columns, temporal coverage, periodicity, among other information. You can query the table data via:
Download
You can download the complete CSV file of the table directly from the website. This type of query is not available for files exceeding 200 thousand rows.
BigQuery (SQL)
BigQuery is Google's cloud database service. Directly from your browser, you can query the processed tables with:
-
Speed: Even very long queries take only minutes to process.
-
Scale: BigQuery magically scales to hexabytes if needed.
-
Economy: Every user has 1 TB free per month for querying the data.
Packages
Base dos Dados packages allow access to the public data lake directly from your computer or development environment.
The currently available packages are:
- Python
