Should I use data sharing or the API?

Pennylane also offers connectivity through data sharing, which is a readonly redshift database we expose so that you can get data from different tables.

Check out the data sharing documentation here.

To help you decide whether you should use data sharing or the API, here are a few pros and cons of each, depending on what use case you're trying to achieve.

TL;DR :

➡️ If you're looking mostly at retrieving data from Pennylane, in large volumes, at a regular frequency every x hours, then data sharing is for you!

➡️ If you're looking at a bidirectional integration with Pennylane in real time, then the API is the right way to go!
