#Data Delivery methods
##File downloads This delivery method is good for data that does not change often or is historical data bundled into discrete snapshots. Please don’t use this for real-time data. Options include:
- 3rd party ‘data commons’ sites
- FTP (and variants)
- BitTorrent
##API This is best for real-time data.
##Data Portal Can wrap either an API, a set of file downloads, or both.
