Why would a developer use Factual data?
A. Here are a few reasons a developer might use Factual: • Factual is a valuable source of open, living data that can easily be incorporated into web and mobile applications. • Factual’s APIs and tools make it easy to access our repository of 500,000+ datasets. • Your data is part of an ecosystem and “living”, which means it is constantly improving through the sum of human and algorithmic activity: crowdsourcing, machine learning, spam detection, validation, and real-time cleaning and structuring. • Factual brings together data from multiple sources (all cited within each cell), so you always know where the data came from and can assess its quality and reliability. • If you create an application using our data and allow it to be editable, you will get credits back towards any fees paid for API access. In some cases, you may even be paid for edits and contributions. Contact us to learn more.
