tap

What is tap?
tap lets you turn raw data files (CSV, JSONL, Parquet, etc.) into managed, production-ready APIs in seconds. You upload your data, shape it with SQL transformations as needed, and then expose it via documented, secured endpoints.

Who it’s for

• Data teams or analysts who want to make existing datasets consumable by apps or services, without waiting for engineering resources

• Developers building dashboards, internal tools or microservices that rely on datasets

• Anyone needing to share or enrich data (e.g. open data, public records) and wanting to avoid file-based sharing nightmares

Why we built it
tap was conceived while building an application that needed to query data from a public dataset shared as a zip of 18 CSV files totalling 7.17 GB. We realized valuable data is still often distributed as these static files, which makes it painful to integrate and operationalize. We wanted a frictionless way to go directly from “here’s a bunch of files” → “here’s an API you can build on.”

Free to start
tap is free to sign up and use (no credit card required). It includes a generous free tier, and if you hit limits, just reach out.
