DataMarket connector

The Qlik DataMarket Connector for QlikView enables QlikView to efficiently load data into an application from an extensive collection of up-to-date and ready-to-use data from external sources offered in the Qlik DataMarket. Qlik DataMarket provides current and historical weather and demographic data, currency exchange rates, as well as business, economic and societal data.

Qlik DataMarket data can be examined separately or integrated with your own data. Augmenting internal data with Qlik DataMarket can often lead to richer discoveries.

Qlik DataMarket data is current with the source from which it is derived. The frequency with which source data is updated varies. Weather and market data is typically updated at least once a day, while public population statistics are usually updated annually. Most macro-economic indicators, such as unemployment, price indexes and trade, are published monthly. All updates usually become available in Qlik DataMarket within the same day.

Data selections in QlikView are persistent so that the latest available data is loaded from Qlik DataMarket whenever the data model is reloaded.

Most Qlik DataMarket data is global and country-specific. For example, world population data is available for 200+ countries and territories. In addition, Qlik DataMarket provides various data for states and regions within the United States and European countries.
