I have several "standard catalog of world coin" and I want to manage my collection of coins like someone living in 2020 ;-)
I have an excel spreadsheet (with KM numbering) but I'd like to create an web-based app (php+mysql-based) for easy reporting, statistics...
No problem for coding.
But the first and essential thing to do is to have a solid coin database.
I'd like to know if there is a world coin database I can import/download.
It probably exists since website are connected with such database.
There is no free coin database that you can just download.
Krause's official coin db is accessible via Numismaster, but if you try to flip thru the pages too fast, they'll ip ban you automatically. NGC also uses the same db, but they most likely have some kind of licensing deal set up with Krause.
There is a bunch of numismatic sites like Numista, each with their own database. These are usually built from the ground up via user contributions. There are also sites that just copy information from here.
Colnect has an API to connect directly to their db, but there are some forms that the site's owner wants you to fill out first before he'll provide access.
If you want we could discuss on the way to do it.
I will construct a web-based interface in php/mysql/javascript (with a touch of bootstrap & jquery) ...

Why not? I started something with a different approach, but I think the database can be a common and shared task.
I'll write you a private message. I don't know if someone else is interested..
