Do I need an account with Azure Cosmos DB?

No. The data is public, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to paste in.

How fresh is the data?

As fresh as your schedule: daily by default, or weekly or monthly. Schedules as often as every 15 minutes are on the Enterprise plan.

Do I need to write code?

No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

How it works

Choose Azure Cosmos DB. The data is public, so there is nothing to sign in to.
Pick where it goes. BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift and 10 more, in an account you own.
Pick a schedule. Daily is the default, and weekly and monthly are there too.
Ingest runs it from then on. If a run fails, your dashboard shows which table and why.
