In their own words
Preqin
Preqin provides financial data and information for alternative-asset investors and related professionals. Its Preqin Pro platform brings together private capital and hedge fund datasets, search, analytics, and access to a network of alternative-assets professionals. Searches can span tens of millions of lines of data using keywords, location, activity, and other criteria. Interactive visual analytics cover private-markets history, current conditions, future outlook, and peer positioning. Data spans private equity, venture capital, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, and secondaries. For enterprise use, Feeds APIs deliver bulk structured datasets, while Operational APIs provide targeted access on demand. Data is also available through Snowflake Marketplace and AWS Data Exchange. Preqin lists integrations with Altvia, Backstop, DealCloud, Dynamo, Easy API, S&P Global, and Wharton. Enterprise APIs use HTTPS and OAuth 2.0 or Basic Authentication, with time-limited Bearer tokens. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan, though a trial is available. Trial accounts cannot integrate data into customer systems, but sample data is available through Snowflake and AWS.
