tables of structured data. The website hosts user-provided content

<h2>Usage of the Website</h2>
<p>
<i>datatable.directory</i> is meant as an alternative to sites like GitHub Gist
or Pastebin, and serves a similar purpose, that is, the sharing of data with others.
It is not a CDN, and it is not meant to be used by bots or scripts. Updating a table
with a script is allowed, but keep in mind that we maintain all historical revisions,
so updating a table too often may put a strain on the server. Think of it like
a GitHub optimized for tables, except on a much smaller server.

<p>
Please do not try to upload very large datasets (i.e. over 10.000 entries),
such as star catalogs, or the unicode character map, which are already
available elsewhere. These are generally better served by dedicated websites.
</p>
<p>
Further, we ask you to refrain from using the export API excessively, or scraping our
table pages, when the results are invariant and can be cached. Excessive
requests may result in blacklisting to protect the server.
