Chapter 5. Dataclips
Dataclips
are web tool provided by Heroku that allows you to share the results of your
queries in a Postgres database in a simple way. You can share the URL of the results with
anyone, and they can view or download the results in JSON, CSV, or Microsoft Excel
formats.
Heroku dataclips also provide an API end point, which is an amazing feature that quickly
creates prototyping APIs. Another use case of dataclips is when you use them for decision-
making in your business. With dataclips, it is very easy for someone to share an important
business query with you, and you are able to edit and work together on this query or just
download the query data. It's a great feature to create dashboards in your applications.
