I think I'll move the HTML to the page footer (less concerns about taking up lots of space there) and then have a bit of JavaScript that turns it into a show/hide menu of some sort in its current location.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",323681589,Export to CSV,

Most places you currently put a `.json` extension should also allow a `.csv` extension.
By default this will return the exact results you see on the current page (default max will remain 1000).
## Streaming all records
Where things get interested is *streaming mode*. This will be an option which returns ALL matching records as a streaming CSV file, even if that ends up being millions of records.
I think the best way to build this will be on top of the existing mechanism used to efficiently implement keyset pagination via `_next=` tokens.
## Expanding foreign keys
For tables with foreign key references it would be useful if the CSV format could expand those references to include the labels from `label_column` - maybe via an additional `?_expand=1` option.
When expanding each foreign key column will be shown twice:
