Where to find all genes and their biotypes?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out where I can get/make a file that contains gene names, their chromosome, position, their source, and their biotype. Like this:

chr    start    end    gene    biotype    source
1    11869    14412    DDX11L1    pseudogene    ensembl_havana

I'd like to get this for GRCh38 and GRCh37 - is there any resource that offers this or something similar that I can filter this information from?

I've tried searching ensembl and their FTP but I haven't found data that has this information in one place.
