Re: lexusnexus, i wish they provided their data in a more legible format. Last time i requested my data it was provided in such a way where the data needed to be cross referenced with a legend which itself needed to be cross referenced with yet another table which made the whole data dump unreadable.

As someone who used to broker Lexis data, lemme tell you, you don’t want what comes out of their API either.

I used an online request option, in 2018, which required LexisNexus to send me my "entire profile" — which resulted in a 150+ page document physically arriving in my mailbox.

Interesting, you've inspired me to request my own. I'm excited to see what comes in the mail!
