End-to-End Data Discovery and Delivery
Dataset Marketplace
A B2B data marketplace built for serious buyers: developers training AI models, analytics teams sourcing external signals, and product teams integrating third-party data into their applications.
Platform Scope
The design challenge was to build a marketplace that supports discovery, technical evaluation, transparent purchasing, and flexible delivery - all without requiring users to leave the platform or guess at what they are buying.
Evaluate before you buy
Every dataset can be previewed, tested, and understood before purchase.
Surface technical truth early
File size, format, schema, and refresh rate are visible immediately - not hidden in documentation.
Reduce time from intent to usable data
Once purchased, data is delivered in the format and destination the user chooses.
Design for scale
The platform supports single purchases and enterprise-level integrations equally well.
Search-First Discovery
The marketplace landing page is search-first: prominent search bar, fast filters by platform (Zillow, GitHub, YouTube, Instagram), and dataset cards that surface key metadata immediately.
Decision Making Above the Fold
Every dataset has a dedicated detail page with comprehensive metadata: size, format, record count, refresh frequency, pricing, and source attribution. The goal is to provide enough information for a purchase decision without scrolling.
Above the Fold
- -Dataset name and source
- -Price ($120 one-time purchase)
- -Data-Fields count (21)
- -Total Records (7.4M)
- -File size (2.4 GB)
- -Refresh frequency (Every Month)
Action Buttons
- -Buy Dataset - Primary CTA
- -Try in Playground - Test before buying
- -Share - Quick link sharing
- -Overview / Data Preview tabs
Live API Testing
Each dataset has a dedicated landing page with an interactive playground. Users can test the API with real parameters, preview JSON responses, and understand the data structure before committing to a purchase.
- - Type/Owner/Repository filters
- - Include options (AI Data)
- - Time range selection
- - Live search execution
- - Results & Code toggle
- - API request preview
- - JSON response format
- - Credit usage tracking
- - Repository Data
- - Developer Profiles
- - Trending Projects
- - Commits Analysis
Zero Ambiguity Checkout
The purchase modal is designed to eliminate ambiguity. It recaps exactly what the user is buying: dataset name, size, format, downloads, and what is included (full download, playground access, commercial use rights).
Flexible Cloud Delivery
Post-purchase, users choose how they want their data delivered. The platform supports JSON/CSV format selection and multiple delivery methods including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or direct download.
