Source: https://docs.chain.link/data-streams/selecting-data-streams

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

When you design your applications, consider the quality of the data that you use. Ultimately you are responsible for identifying and assessing the accuracy, availability, and quality of data that you choose to consume via the Chainlink Network. Note that all streams contain some inherent risk. Read the [Data Streams Best Practices](/data-streams/concepts/best-practices) and [Developer Responsibilities](/data-streams/developer-responsibilities) sections when making design decisions.

For a summary of data sourcing models by asset type, see [Data Sources](/data-streams/data-sources).
