Data Concepts

​

Overview

Seltz endpoints use search over a curated set of sources to provide responses. This topic describes the data that these endpoints use and how it is structured in responses.

​

Owned indexes

Seltz maintains an owned index that contains data from a variety of sources. Seltz indexes this data and makes it available via API. The owned index is updated frequently, so it contains recent information. When you use Seltz endpoints, you can request that endpoints use a particular scope. A scope is a subset of the owned index, defined by its source, subject matter, and structure. The news scope is used by default, but you can also specify a different scope.

​

Scopes

When you specify a scope for a request, the endpoint will only search the data in that scope. The type of search results you get will depend on the scope you choose. For example, if you specify the companies scope, each result in the response is a different company matching your search. The following scopes are available in Seltz endpoints:

• Companies
• Financial reports
• News
• People
• Wikipedia
