Find datasets in your own words

Published datasets with DOIs, formats, licenses, and the people who made them.

Researchers publish datasets with DOIs, licenses, and formats, and then nobody can find them. SpecStream searches DataCite and Crossref by subject, year, license, and format, and returns the DOI with every result.

Requests to start from

Three ways to ask. Each one opens in the workspace, read into parts you can check and change.

A1
Datasets on urban tree canopy published since 2020 under an open license. Include the format and DOI.
Open it in the workspace
A2
Datasets about bicycle traffic counts in European cities, available as CSV. Include the publisher and license.
Open it in the workspace
A3
Datasets from universities on coral reef temperatures published since 2015. Include the DOI.

How it reads

Take A1. Before the quote, SpecStream turns it into parts you can check and change. Edit one and the request saves as a new saved version. Anything it can’t support stays visible instead of being quietly dropped.

Use them as conditions, ask for them back, or both; the field picker in the workspace shows which work where. Mark a detail required and a result needs evidence for it before it counts. Optional details can come back empty without sinking the record.

From your agent or your code

Ask for the same list from your agent or your code. Your agent sees the price before it runs, then gets every match with the details you asked for. It works within your spending limit. Connect your agent with MCP.

Use SpecStream to find this:

Datasets on urban tree canopy published since 2020 under an open
license. Include the format and DOI.

Show me how you read it and the price before you run anything.
specstream compile 'Datasets on urban tree canopy published since 2020 under an open license. Include the format and DOI.'
import os
from specstream_client import Client

client = Client(api_key=os.environ["SPECSTREAM_API_KEY"])
request = client.compile(
    "Datasets on urban tree canopy published since 2020 under an open "
    "license. Include the format and DOI."
)
import { Client } from "@specstream/sdk"

const client = new Client({ apiKey: process.env.SPECSTREAM_API_KEY! })
const request = await client.compile(
    "Datasets on urban tree canopy published since 2020 under an open " +
        "license. Include the format and DOI."
)

What it costs

You pay for the results that match, at the rate the quote shows.

Standard, $0.10 a match: up to 5 facts to check or return, with no related list.
Expanded, $0.30 a match: up to 15 facts, plus one related list, such as a company’s jobs or a creator’s posts. 10 related records a result are included, then 10¢ for each further 10.
Deep, $1 a match: anything beyond Expanded.
A person’s email, +$0.10; a phone, +$0.25 on top of the rate, when the request asks for one. A likely email counts and says likely. Rows without it pay their rate alone.
Your own list, $0.05 a row checked. A row that matches pays its rate instead.

New accounts get $10 of work free to start, no card. See pricing

Then what?

Share a snapshot of the datasets you chose, with an expiry date. Or export them to CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML, share a snapshot with an expiry date, and pick the work up later from wherever you left it.
