Open data

Data & downloads.

Every figure on Glowpedia's analysis pages as versioned, downloadable datasets — with brand population, exclusions and method. Free to use with attribution under CC BY 4.0.

Each dataset is a frozen version with computation date, rule set and input dates. The JSON file is the compilation with a data dictionary; the CSV carries the row-level basis (the brands behind each figure). The figures are shares of the brands in the sample, never market shares.

Origin and ownership
