What Dewey Is
Dewey Data is an academic data marketplace — one institutional Platform Subscription unlocks a catalog of ~300 datasets from ~40 providers (foot traffic, POI, mobility, consumer transactions, real estate, labor). UVA Library and NYU both hold the institutional subscription; SafeGraph and most providers are free under it.
Dewey is not a SQL warehouse like WRDS. Data is delivered as partitioned Parquet/CSV.gz files downloaded via an API key. You discover datasets, read metadata, sample, filter (by date partition + columns), then download. Think "S3 of presigned Parquet links," not "PostgreSQL."
