Creating a data product from a URL

With Data Product Hub, you can create a data product from one or more public URLs.

Required roles
Collaborator role: Editor

The URL method can be used to create a data product if your assets are available from a public URL. It's a good method to use if you do not have a secure connection to the data source.

You are the owner of all the data products that you create. Only the owner of a data product can edit, publish, and retire their data products. A data product has only one owner.

Entering the URL and assigning a name

The URL is the location where your assets are hosted. You can combine files and URLs in a data product. The limit for the total number of items in a data product is 20.

To enter the URL for your data product:

  1. From the Data Product Hub home page, click New data product and select the Add from URL tile.

  2. Enter a valid public URL where data assets and other files are hosted. The URL requires the form: https://url.domain. A secure, TLS encrypted URL (https) is required.

  3. Enter a unique name for the URL to help identify it in the data product subscriptions.

  4. Optional: You can embed a preview of your URL that allows consumers to view the data product without leaving their data community. Click Verify preview to check that your content can be embedded. Then, enable Allow preview and Save and Confirm your changes.

  5. Click Create draft to confirm your URL selection. When your draft is successfully created, a static visualization of your data product is generated and viewable by the consumer.

Next steps

After you create your data product draft, see Completing a data product to finish preparing your data product for publication. Note that for URLs, the delivery method is automatically set to Open URL, which allows consumers to open the URL to access the assets.
