Why my favourite API is a zipfile on the European Central Bank's website
Agreed! People are surprised but CSV files (while I would use them for everything) work great in low-tech environment, or when files must be produced by many different actors with different technical levels.
One concrete example is the French standard to describe Electrical Vehicles Charge Points, which is made of 2 parts (static = position & overall description, dynamic = current state, occupancy etc). Both "files" are just CSV files:
https://github.com/etalab/schema-irve
Both sub-formats are specified via TableSchema (https://frictionlessdata.io/schemas/table-schema.json).
Files are produced directly by electrical charge points operators, which can have widely different sizes & technicality, so CSV works nicely in that case.
