Frequently Asked Questions
A Data Series is a numerical sequence over a period of time that accounts for the value of something specific.
For example, if we can know the average price of a kilo of bread each day, after a few days we will have a Data Series
of the Average Price per Kilo of Bread and we will be able to see the evolution of that price over time.
The data that makes up the different Series offered in Here is Data comes from the automated reading of different online sources,
which are always cited at the end of each name so you can know who generated the data.
A Synthetic Series is a set of numerical values that are the result of a mathematical operation
carried out on one or more Data Series, for example, dividing one series by another to see how they relate over time.
A Private Series is a Series created by a user, where the values that comprise it are provided by the user
and are accessible only to the user. This allows many private variables to be recorded in one place for comparison and analysis alongside other Series.
We offer several options for using a Series' data: You can view them online within Here is Data, see the latest values,
graph their historical evolution, and much more. You can also download them in different formats, such as JPG, PDF, or Excel.
Finally, you can use our APIs to automate external systems, spreadsheets, charts, or whatever you need!
An API is a standard form of communication that allows interaction between two different systems.
These interactions are carried out through endpoints, which are the different queries that can be made through the API to exchange information,
such as querying the latest value of a series or the different values within a given time period.
To use our various APIs, you'll need an API Key. An API Key is a unique identifier that authenticates you as a user
and authorizes you to query the database outside of Here is Data. This API Key will be assigned to you when you purchase a Pro plan,
and you should treat it like a password, as other users could use it to make queries in your name.
