Alphacast Friday Update - September 3rd
Hi friends! This was an exciting week with lots of updates on multiple fronts. As we remain focused on our upcoming Marketplace release, we also have other news to share:
Webinars: It's a wrap!

New Profile Views
As we keep working to roll out the Alphacast Marketplace, we have updated users' and teams' profile views to highlight our partners' branding.
Link sharing for repository access
You can now invite colleagues to your repositories by exchanging invite links. If its a new user, the person will be invited to create an account, and will then be granted access to the repository:
New API Coming Up next week
Some of our Marketplace partners had specific requirements on the data they are planning to pour into Alphacast, so we made a complete rearchitecture of our data platform, and updated our APIs. As we mentioned last week, you will be able to handle Datasets with multiple entities / dimensions, and the API will now allow to search for data: selecting specific variables, filter specific dates, or select a specific value (i.e: give me all data corresponding to a given country)
