Every database was rebuilt from its latest source (ICE gains a new encounters table and the 2026 FOIA release; CMS Medicare adds CY2024; FEC covers the 2026 cycle), then independently audited from a researcher's perspective and repaired — including fixes to views, lookups, and column typing that affected published-number accuracy. Each README now carries a researcher-caveats section, and every HuggingFace dataset page includes the changelog. Full changelog →
Every database can be queried remotely in seconds with no download required, or downloaded locally for full speed.
datapond is open for new databases from any public data source. If you have a dataset that would be useful as a queryable DuckDB database, we would love to include it.
