About
Kasabi is an online marketplace that brings developers and data publishers together to enable new business models for consumers and producers of data at all scales. Kasabi's unique approach is to link individual data records together enabling layered views of information about specific topics to be easily created. We provide consistent developer APIs that work across all types of data within the marketplace and a simple subscription approach that removes the frustration of working with different licensing and pricing regimes. Data publishers can license and brand data through the marketplace to reach a global community of developers and learn more about the value of their data through Kasabi's analytics services. All data is hosted on Kasabi's secure and reliable data platform.
A Place for Data
Kasabi is a marketplace for people publishing and looking for data. As a complete platform for the hosting and publishing of Linked Data, Kasabi brings together anyone involved with data: businesses, developers, individuals, organisations, government etc.
Anyone can be a data publisher. Whether you have public-domain data to share, or you are looking to explore the business potential of datasets, Kasabi aims to support your model. The Publishers’ Guide will help you get started publishing data in Kasabi.
When a dataset is created in Kasabi, it is automatically equipped with a set of APIs. These APIs give developers a range of options for instantly accessing data using standard authentication and simple formats. The Developers’ Guide has more information on working with Kasabi’s data and APIs.
We support the growing community in sharing their skills and expertise by providing ways to create new APIs and share useful queries over data. Our goal is to help the community help each other to get the most from the datasets we host.
We see Kasabi as a place to mix and match datasets, layering them to provide richer sources of data for applications, projects, and research. It has been built on Linked Data, which has been chosen to provide the necessary technology for linking and combining data. This doesn’t mean that you need to work with Linked Data itself, you can choose from a range of APIs and formats to suit your project or skillset.
