Summary

We've provided a brief overview of the functionality and options available in the Data Lake feature.

Within the Data Lake, users can view and edit existing collections and create new ones.

The Data Lake is ideal for one-time data selling or subscription-based usage scenarios, where data sellers can regularly update datasets with fresh data, granting buyers instant access to the latest information.

In the Data Lake, sellers can upload data via:

• Files: such as csv, xlsx, or json.

• API Data Stream: From within third-party applications that have access to Offsetdata's API Endpoints.
