Alternative Data

Exabel is currently partnered with many alternative data vendors to integrate their data on the Exabel platform in analysis-ready form with live-data pipelines, and to provide curated Insights Platforms that come with pre-configured dashboards and example models and strategies.

Key points:

• Exabel does not sell vendor data. You will need a license from the relevant vendors to use their data on Exabel.
• Instant access: Exabel access can be turned on instantly once you have the required licenses.
• Live data: all vendor data sets are integrated with live data pipelines, so no additional work is needed once you decide to put your analytics into production / trading on live data.
• Analysis-ready: vendor data is already mapped to companies and KPIs. Where data is available at more granular levels, such as at brand-level, this is also integrated and mapped to companies. You are then able to easily slice and dice the data in Data Explorer, and filter and aggregate using signal expressions.
• Time series: all vendor data is in the form of time series data. In the case of partners with "raw" transaction-level data, this is pre-aggregated into time series and made available at that granularity.
• Point-in-time history: for data sets with true point-in-time history, Exabel ingests in full when we first onboard the data. For data sets without true point-in-time, we approximate this based on the earliest snapshot of data we have during onboarding, applying the typical data delivery lag. Once onboarded, we build a true point-in-time record of every data set. This is accessible to all customers.

Free data sets

Exabel also provides several free data sets that we bring in from public sources:

• Google Trends
• FRED (from the St Louis Federal Reserve)
• TSA Passenger Volumes

These are available upon customer request for no additional charge.
