MatCraft does not currently offer a full database dump download. For large-scale data access, we recommend:

  1. Paginated API queries: Use the search endpoint with broad filters and iterate through all pages. With 100 items per page, you can retrieve the full database in about 2,050 requests.
  1. Upstream sources: For the raw data, download directly from:
  1. Filtered exports: Use specific search criteria to download only the materials relevant to your research, which is typically a small fraction of the full database.

For enterprise users with bulk data needs, contact us for custom data export arrangements.
