financial data

npolyak — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 21:48:18 GMT

Hey All,

I am trying to build a financial application.
Is there any free mocked up financial data (pricing for securities, market data) I can be using for testing from databricks?
I do not need it up to date - it can be stale or mocked up.

Thanks

Hey @npolyak ,
good question! I’d recommend two routes, although I’m sure there are more:

1. https://www.kaggle.com Has a large number of free to use datasets from competitions and publicly shared datasets.
2. https://www.mockaroo.com Allows you to generate some mock data. I believe it’s limited to 1000 rows for the trial but I’ve found this useful in the past.

Hope these help!

You can get access to the both datasets for Free through Marketplace in your Databricks.

@TheOC , I would also recommend to go with Kaggle datasets
