roswithaQ: I understand that the database would be hosted on your side? Can I export or connect with API
Sounds to me like the data would be hosted on your servers, both the website and the database. Our directories should interact with our website databases. Do you offer an API for that? I am assuming it is easy to export and import data?

BD also supports bulk imports via CSV files, making it easy to migrate data from spreadsheets, databases, or other platforms.
