Shared Data Views

Public, read-only pages for any dataset. With your branding.

Turn any dataset into a public, read-only page. Send the link to a teammate, a client, or the world — no account, no API key, no setup on their end.

What it does

Shared Data Views generate a public URL for a dataset that anyone can open in a browser. The page renders a clean, paginated table backed by the same dataset your API uses. You can apply static filters so viewers only see a specific slice — for example, 'orders where status is shipped' or 'customers in Oregon.' Viewers can search, paginate, and even use natural language queries against the shared data, but they can't see anything outside what you've shared. Customize the page title, accent colors (Starter and up), and logo (Pro and up) to match your brand.

How it works

  1. 1

    Click Share on a dataset

    Open any dataset detail page and click 'Share.' Configure the view: page title, optional static filters, and any branding.

  2. 2

    Get a public URL

    We mint a unique, hard-to-guess token URL like /s/abc123xyz. Anyone with the link can open it — no account required.

  3. 3

    Viewers browse and query

    The shared page renders the dataset as a paginated table. Viewers can search, paginate, and ask natural language questions over the visible data.

  4. 4

    Update or revoke anytime

    Edit the share to change filters or branding, or delete it to immediately revoke access.

Why it matters

  • No account hurdle for viewers

    Stop emailing CSV attachments. Send a link and let recipients browse the data live.

  • Static filters for safe sharing

    Pin the view to a specific slice of the dataset so sensitive rows never leave your account.

  • Custom branding

    Match the page to your brand with custom titles, colors, and (on Pro+) your own logo.

The problem it solves

Sharing tabular data is usually a choice between 'email a CSV' (stale, insecure, no filtering) and 'build a custom page' (way too much work for a list of rows). Shared Data Views give you the second one with the effort of the first.

Common use cases

  • Sharing a filtered customer list with a client without giving them dashboard access

  • Publishing a public roster, schedule, or directory backed by a CSV

  • Internal status pages where the source of truth is a spreadsheet

  • Embedding a live data view in a static marketing site
