Hey everyone! I’m working on my master’s thesis and I need to create a location-based online store app. I’m looking for some fake data to use in my project. Does anyone know where I can find a free dataset with stuff like groceries, movies, books, and electronics? I need info for at least 200 fake customers (age, gender, where they live, education level) and 1000 different items. Oh, and about 1000 pretend orders too. It’s for testing and analysis, so the more data, the better! Any suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks!
yo, check out mockaroo.com! it’s pretty dope for generating fake data. u can make custom datasets with all kindsa fields. they got a free tier that lets u create up to 1000 rows. for bigger datasets, u might need to pay a bit or combine multiple free sets. hope that helps wit ur project, good luck!
Hey Leo_Speedster! That’s a cool project you’re working on! Have you thought about creating your own dataset? It might take a bit more time, but you could tailor it exactly to your needs. Maybe start with a smaller set and gradually expand it? I’m curious, what made you choose a location-based online store for your thesis? Do you have any specific features in mind that you’re excited about implementing? It’d be awesome to hear more about your plans!
For your e-commerce project, I’d recommend looking into Faker libraries. They’re available in various programming languages and can generate realistic-looking fake data for multiple categories. You could use Faker to create customer profiles, product listings, and order details. Alternatively, consider leveraging public datasets from Kaggle or data.gov and adapting them to fit your needs. These sources often provide large, diverse datasets that could be modified for your e-commerce scenario. Just ensure you’re complying with any usage restrictions. Remember to sanitize and validate the data before incorporating it into your project.
