Needle Data Publishing: From Private Exports to Public Browsing

Once your data has been acquired, merged, and polished, Needle offers you numerous ways to expose the clean data to its intended audience—whether a single analyst, a private community, or a public-facing website or mobile application.

Exposing your data begins with Needle's built-in data browsing, query, and visualization environment. Like all Needle features, no programming is required: a query-building wizard helps you render the data in attractive tables, groups, grids, lists, and maps. Every GUI action that browses Needle data automatically creates a corresponding command-line query, so whenever you have a good data view, you can save it, copy the query for use by an external program, or generate a corresponding web services URL that will run that query automatically.
