Retrieving Data
Each person in a customer organization is given their own Data Axle login. Logins are never shared. There are a number of ways to access data:
- Download files through the Data Axle web UI.
- Automate file retrieval with the File Delivery API or SFTP.
- Read more Delivery Options.
Data Axle does not post files to FTP mailboxes that require shared passwords and manual updates.
