We make data easy to access so you can focus on being more productive.

Whether you are building artificial intelligence, creating an app that finds coffee shops, or even researching what car to buy next, you inevitably have to start by finding data. People toil for hours on end collecting, formatting and sorting data in formats that are somewhat useful for these tasks. It is the opposite of fun.

Accessing valuable data shouldn't be so difficult, especially if it's data someone else has used before. Infochimps is a place to find, sell and share data with others. It comes in two forms on our site:

Data Sets: Instantly available for download. Some are free and some are for sale.
Data APIs: Available with a simple subscription and an API key. Access very large or frequently updated data sets in minutes without having to host or scrape anything.

This site is the brainchild of Flip Kromer (@mrflip) and Dhruv Bansal (@dhruvbansal). Feel free to ping them on Twitter with feedback or delicious kolache recipes.
