SKYDB Exports

Take the data with you. Narrow the database to the buildings you care about — one city, a height band, everything under construction — choose your fields, and export to Excel or CSV.

This is the route most analysts, researchers and journalists take: no integration work, no API keys, just the numbers in a spreadsheet where the rest of the work happens.

Ship millions of structured records straight into your data lake. Buildings, companies, regions, files. One delivery, your license.
