Kaggle for exploring, PandorLabs for business data
Kaggle’s dataset discovery and notebooks make it a great place to learn and experiment. When your project moves into production, a report for a client or a product feature, you need specific, recent data delivered reliably.
That is what PandorLabs provides: business-ready datasets, each with a clear page showing rows, columns, last update and price.
Fresh data, always dated
PandorLabs datasets cover property listings and transactions, job postings, reviews, prices and more, each cleaned into clear columns with one row per record. The dataset page shows when it was last updated, so you always know how current your data is.
Want the very latest? Pull it through the API and data older than your chosen age is refreshed before your file is built, or set up a managed feed for regular deliveries.
From sample to model in minutes
Download the free 100-row CSV sample with your work email and load it into the same notebook you would use for any Kaggle dataset. Check the columns, build a quick prototype, and see the value before you spend anything.
When you are ready, buy the full dataset once with a card or crypto. CSV and JSONL downloads stay available for 30 days and drop straight into pandas, R, SQL or your BI tool.
Recurring data for recurring reports
Kaggle tooling supports publishing new dataset versions, with updates in the hands of each publisher. PandorLabs managed feeds put the schedule in your hands: daily, weekly or monthly deliveries with monitoring and maintenance included.
Your dashboards and models stay current without anyone on your team running collection jobs.
Data built for your exact question
When no existing dataset fits, describe the website, records and fields you need in the AI request box. PandorLabs agents collect it and email you a sample as soon as it is ready.
You get the dataset your project needs, from the source you choose, with the same simple checkout and delivery as every catalog dataset.
How fresh is PandorLabs data?
Every dataset page shows its last update. You can refresh data through the API or get a managed feed delivered daily, weekly or monthly.
Can I use PandorLabs files in my notebooks?
