What is NUM?
A new way to store and retrieve data
NUM is like the Web but for machines. Websites are built for browsing but are an inefficient way to find precise pieces of data like a telephone number, address and more. NUM makes useful data machine-readable so it can be built into devices, apps and services to make your life easier.
NUM is built on top of the Domain Name System (DNS) – a system we all use every day. Watch the 90-second explainer to find out more.
For Businesses
Take control of your data
You shouldn't be at the mercy of the gatekeepers of the web to provide useful information to your customers. NUM is a single, authoritative, open repository for all of your company data. Publish your data using NUM and take control.
For Developers
Break out of API shackles
Forget rate limits, restricted use licensing and everything that holds you back. NUM levels the playing field, giving everyone – giants and independent developers – equal access to data. It's free, unlimited and unrestricted forever.
