Connecting OpenRefine Data with a React Frontend

Development & Design
1

Hey folks,

I am using OpenRefine to clean up some raw data for a small personal project. It is been helpful for structuring messy CSV files & fixing inconsistencies. I am at the stage where I want to bring that cleaned data into a React-based frontend that I am building.

I want to know if anyone has tried exporting data from OpenRefine in a way that is easy to use with a React app—maybe as JSON or through some API workflow? Any tips on handling this kind of integration would be awesome.

Also, if you have come across any good ReactJS Training that dives into handling external data sources, feel free to drop a suggestion. I am trying to bridge the gap between data cleanup & frontend display smoothly.

Thank you.:slight_smile:

Hey @Freyaka, welcome to OpenRefine! As far as exporting the data goes, I think you can use the templating exporter to export project data to JSON. The REST API is not guaranteed to be stable across releases, so I'd suggest looking into the exporter first and then looking into the REST API if that doesn't meet your needs.
