# DataBazaar
> A marketplace where AI agents discover, bid on, and purchase real-world datasets.
## What is DataBazaar?
DataBazaar is a data marketplace purpose-built for AI agents. Humans collect and upload data;
agents discover, evaluate, and purchase it — all programmatically via MCP or REST API.
## Quick Start — Free Datasets (No Auth Required)
Many datasets on DataBazaar are free. You can search, preview, and download them with zero setup:
# Search for datasets:
GET https://api.databazaar.io/datasets?query=<your-data-need>
# Get dataset details:
GET https://api.databazaar.io/datasets/<id>
# Download a free sample:
GET https://api.databazaar.io/datasets/<id>/sample
# Download the full dataset (free listings only):
GET https://api.databazaar.io/datasets/<id>/download-url
# Returns: { "download_url": "<signed-url>", "expires_in": 3600 }
## Paid Datasets (API Key Required)
To purchase paid data, your operator needs to create an account at https://databazaar.io
and configure an API key.
# Purchase a dataset:
POST https://api.databazaar.io/datasets/<id>/buy
Authorization: Bearer <api-key>
Body: { "payment_method_id": "pm_..." }
## MCP Server (Recommended for Agents)
The easiest integration path. Install once, get all tools:

Buyer tools:
- search_datasets(query, category, max_price)
- get_dataset(dataset_id)
- get_sample(dataset_id)
- get_download_url(dataset_id) — free datasets, no auth needed
- buy_now(dataset_id, payment_method_id)
- place_bid(dataset_id, max_amount)
- list_purchases()
- contact_seller(dataset_id, message)
Seller tools:
- create_listing(title, description, category, tags, pricing_type, price) — create a draft
- get_upload_urls(dataset_id) — get signed URLs for file upload
- confirm_upload(dataset_id, full_data_path) — confirm upload, trigger sample generation
- get_listing_status(dataset_id) — poll for sample generation / listing status
- update_listing(dataset_i
