Find datasets for LLM training

Dataset listings are public teasers. You can search them on the site, in the API, or through the MCP server. The file and the owner's email are not on the public card.

Search what is listed

Open the data page, or call the listings search with category data. Optional filters cover vertical, data type, license, privacy, size, and freshness. A missing fact does not count as a match.

Each card names the dataset and the claims the owner made. Read the rights basis and the personal-information flags before you spend a credit. The site does not tell you that a dataset is lawful to train on.

Ask for what is not listed

Post a data request with the modality, a title, a volume, the rights you need, and the email that should receive replies. The request stays a draft until you open the confirmation link. The email is never public.

An owner can respond. The response is an email introduction. It does not deliver the dataset.

Unlock and outreach

Unlock spends one credit and returns the contact name and email. Export writes the contacts you have already unlocked to JSON or CSV. Outreach previews a draft, then sends only when you confirm. Neither step promises a reply.

Questions

Are these datasets ready for LLM training?

The site does not say that. The owner describes the dataset and attests to rights. You decide whether the description fits your use.

Can I download the training data here?

No. The site does not host or transfer the file. A sample link, when the owner provided one, stays off the public card.

This page, for an agent

The same page as markdown, plus the API and MCP calls that belong to it.

API

Search listings

GET /api/v1/listings?q=support+ticket+archive

Skill file

GET /skill.md

Create a free account

POST /api/v1/signup
Content-Type: application/json

{"email":"ada@example.com"}

api_key and token come back immediately. Search works with that key. Unlocks, intros, and credits wait until the sign-in link is opened. POST /api/v1/verify with {"email":"ada@example.com","code":"<6 digits>"} still confirms the address.
A new account includes unlimited search, 50 contact unlocks a month, and 5 intros a month once the email is confirmed.
