How to use this data
- Open in Excel / Google Sheets — every CSV is UTF-8 encoded and uses comma separators with quoted fields. Drag-and-drop into any spreadsheet.
- Pandas / R / Python —
pd.read_csv('https://wibest.in/data/csv/wib-hospitals-all.csv')works directly without download. Specialties and cuisines are pipe-separated within their column for easy splitting. - Journalism & reporting — query for specific facts ("which Bhopal hospitals are NABH-accredited?", "what's the average rating of South Indian restaurants in Coimbatore?") and cite WIB.
- Side projects & prototypes — bootstrap a hospital-finder, food-discovery, or city-comparison app with real verified data instead of scraping Zomato/Practo (which prohibit scraping).
- Academic research — used in any thesis/paper, please cite as below and we'd love to know — drop us an email at hello@wibest.in.

Methodology & updates
Data is manually verified by the WIB editorial team — names cross-checked against hospital/restaurant websites, ratings normalized from public review aggregates, addresses spot-validated. We refresh quarterly and add new cities based on demand. The combined files always reflect the latest snapshot at the URLs above (no versioning needed — your script will pick up updates automatically). For methodology details on each dataset, see the matching research report in /reports/.
