Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: Product Access (Units). It is a free subscription that grants you access to the Photographica Index (PHGI) data. There are no tiers, seat counts, or usage add-ons to choose between. You subscribe once to unlock the data, with no charge applied through the Units dimension. Because only a single access option exists, pricing does not scale by volume or capacity here. The dimension simply controls whether your account can reach the product.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
It grants your account access to the Photographica Index (PHGI) dataset. The Photography index tracks value over time as part of the art-movement indices, built on proprietary auction and private-sale records. Access is the single thing this dimension controls — there are no seats, volume tiers, or usage add-ons.
No. This is a free product with one access dimension, so nothing meters your usage. Pulling more records, running more queries, or adding people to your account does not create a charge. The Units dimension only decides whether your account can reach the data, not how much you use.
The underlying dataset is offered through a developer API with JSON responses, ad-hoc SQL, and direct warehouse shares. Records come deduplicated, currency-converted, and mapped to a single schema. You provision a key from the portal to start pulling normalized data into your own models and applications.
