If you’re working on a Machine Learning (ML) project, you probably know how hard it can be to find the right dataset for your model. You might worked on your problem, defining it as a ML problem but now have no data to train your model. Maybe you do have some data, but it’s not enough to feed those data-hungry neural networks. Or maybe you do have lots of data, but it’s not correctly labeled. Who said ML was easy?

I have been there many times, and along the road I have found many online resources that have helped me to find these precious data. In an attempt to make your work easier, I have made this list of free online resources you can use to get data for your ML projects, on any topic you like. I hope you find it useful!

In case you are searching for Reinforcement Learning environments, I recommend you to check my article with a list of them.
