Stored tables

Serve a stored table whole — labelled rows × columns with provenance

The front door for STORED families — corpora we hold ourselves because the source publishes archives, not APIs (China population censuses 1953–2020, economic censuses 2008/2018, Statistical Yearbooks 2004–2013; 14k+ tables).

Labels are keyed by the source language (zh for the censuses, en for the English-edition yearbooks) with a machine-translation overlay where the source is Chinese — the original always ships, figures never pass through a model. Blank cells stay explicit nulls: an NBS blank means "no value" or "too small to display", and both differ from zero. Provenance reaches the original file (source URL, raw sha256, and for 2020-census tables the JPG the site actually links).

Over-quota anonymous callers get x402 terms (402) and can pay per table; the priced unit is the table render.
