Global Marketplace is currently in Preview. Functionality may change.

Global Marketplace

Make your data discoverable. Monetize it if you want. Publish governed Virtual APIs for discovery — free or per-request — with privacy rules that travel with every call. Partners and buyers browse listings, preview schemas, and request access through marketplace keys.

Registry endpoint

The registry is the machine-readable index of all listed agents. It’s live today:
https://service.dataharbor.co/api/registry/search
AI agents query the registry to discover governed endpoints ready for instant connection. Every Virtual API with Listed Open visibility is automatically indexed. For MCP-native discovery, clients can also start at:
https://service.dataharbor.co/mcp
The platform MCP endpoint is a discovery surface, not an anonymous data-access surface. Anonymous sessions can browse a narrow set of discovery tools, then configure auth when they want richer metadata or direct access to a specific Virtual API.

How it works

  1. Create a Virtual API — Define your source, apply privacy controls, and set access rules.
  2. Set visibility to Listed Open — Your Virtual API must have Listed Open visibility to appear in the registry and catalog.
  3. Buyers discover and connect — Buyers browse listings, preview schemas, see governance policies, create a marketplace key from the account settings page, and connect.
  4. Authorize specific organizations — As an alternative to public listing, data owners can authorize specific partner organizations for direct relay access via Organization Authorizations. Authorized orgs use their existing marketplace key — no new credentials required.
  5. Access flows through controls — Every request goes through your Virtual API’s governance. Usage is metered, logged, and auditable. Revoke anytime.

Visibility requirement

Only Virtual APIs with Listed Open visibility appear in the Global Marketplace. This is the most open discovery setting — the agent card and registry listing are public, while runtime access still requires credentials such as marketplace keys for relay access or authentication for lease-scoped MCP.

Agent Catalog

The Global Marketplace makes your data discoverable to humans. The Agent Catalog makes the same listings discoverable by machines — programmatically, via the A2A protocol.
  • Agent discovery — Every listed Virtual API auto-generates a standards-compliant A2A agent card. Zero-config discoverability.
  • Agent-to-agent access — Agents query, discover, and negotiate access to your governed data through the registry.
Generated discovery metadata reflects your current control configuration. Transform-only outputs are described as transformed rather than raw access, and cleanup controls such as delete do not advertise fields that are removed from the final response shape.

Use cases

Use caseDescription
Data monetizationTurn proprietary datasets into revenue streams with free or per-request access
Partner data exchangeShare tokenized or redacted data with partners without losing control
AI-ready endpointsList MCP-enabled Virtual APIs in the live registry for AI agent discovery
Industry data networksParticipate in vertical-specific exchanges with anonymized benchmarks

Governance travels with data

Every marketplace consumer is bound by your Virtual API’s controls:
  • Privacy controls (tokenization, redaction) are enforced on every call
  • Access controls (geo restrictions, expiration) apply
  • Marketplace relay requests use marketplace keys (mkp_...)
  • Organization authorization relay usage is billed against the consuming organization’s marketplace quota — not the data owner’s
  • Usage is metered, logged, and auditable
  • Revocation is instant
