Melissa Releases

Overview

Melissa Releases allows you to securely and efficiently download data files, object binaries, and other collateral files from Melissa. This service enables you to automate the process of updating your data and APIs by scripting the download of specific files rather than downloading the entire zip archive. File versioning is also provided, if needed, making it easier to download historical data or builds.

Melissa Releases can be used to:

  • Automate database updates.
  • Check for updates for specific products.
  • Securely download data files.
  • Download only needed files, saving space and time.
  • Download historical data as needed.
