Are you tired of searching through countless data sources, only to find outdated or limited information? Or don’t know where to start to find data that matters? Introducing Open Data Search, a platform that simplifies the discovery and use of publicly available data from across the web. With Open Data Search you can quickly find relevant data, streamline your workflows, and make more accurate forecasts.
Currently analysts, data engineers, researchers, and enthusiasts face significant challenges when searching for variables that can explain fluctuations in their data and improve their analysis and forecasts. They must navigate multiple platforms, each with its own limitations, outdated information, or cumbersome formatting requirements. This leads to wasted time, sub-optimal forecasting, and missed opportunities.
Open Data Search changes this by aggregating a vast amount of national, state, regional, and local data sources under one roof, providing consistent formatting, supporting it with a fast, user-friendly search engine, and updating the datasets daily to ensure you're seeing the latest. With over 1 million time series variables and growing, from 190+ countries covering topics like energy, transportation, economics, crime, and the environment, Open Data Search is an essential tool for anyone working with data.
Finally, we go a step further by automatically identifying and recommending open data variables and highlighting the ones most strongly correlated with your existing data, streamlining your discovery process and boosting forecast accuracy.
