# Datasets to acquire or license, by domain and coverage

> Find a dataset to buy or license: domain, fields, coverage, history, refresh cadence and intended use, specified so a vendor can say whether it has it.

Decant: Files in. Rows out. Send a requirement.

## What it is for

Analysts and model builders often know exactly what data they need (permits by parcel, freight rates by lane, store-level foot traffic) but not who sells it, under what licence, or whether it exists at the coverage required. The licence matters as much as the fields: internal analysis, a commercial product and model training are priced and permitted differently. Set out the fields, coverage, history, refresh cadence and intended use so a data vendor can tell you whether it has it and on what licence.

Data scientists and analysts, quantitative researchers, product teams building on third-party data, AI developers seeking licensed training data, and procurement staff buying data.

## What happens next

You get a reference number and your data requirement as a written specification. We look at every requirement, and when we can find a source of that data or get licence terms quoted, we reply to the email you leave. Nothing is ordered or committed until you agree terms. Contact details are kept apart from the requirement and deleted after 180 days.

## What you get

A reference number, a specification of the data you need (domain, fields, coverage, history, refresh and use) vendors can answer, and a reply when we find a source.

## Scope

Any coverage; the geography of the data is recorded as stated.

- Datasets of personal information about individuals are recorded only as a stated need; nothing is collected or traded.
- Licence terms are recorded as your requirement; nothing here interprets a licence.

## Send a requirement

Fill in the data you need below and send it. Agents can POST the same fields to /dataset-licensing/requests or call the submit_request tool.
