1. Can I customise the fields returned in the API response?
The fields returned in the API response depend on the data points selected by you based on your use case and the configuration of your subscription plan.
2. I want the entities in the API response sorted in a particular order. How do I do that?
Refer to the “Sorts applicable” section on the relevant API reference page to view the complete list of attributes that can be used to sort entities in the API response.
3. What happens in case a datapoint is not available in your database? What will the API response look like?
If a data point is not available in our database, it will not be included in the API response. This approach helps reduce the response payload size. You should handle such missing fields appropriately while integrating with the APIs.
4. What datapoints are included in the API response?
To view the list of data points included in the API response, refer to the “Output Keys” section on the corresponding API in the documentation.
If a specific data point visible on the Tracxn platform is not available in the API response, please contact our support team with your query. We will review the request and assess the feasibility of supporting your use case.
5. How does Tracxn update company descriptions?
Company descriptions are updated by Tracxn’s analyst team after reviewing publicly available information, including but not limited to the company’s official website but also from updates to products or business models, Press releases, blogs, and other credible public sources. To maintain neutrality and avoid copyright issues, descriptions sourced from third-party content providers are not altered.
6. Can I fetch sector-specific news using the News API?
Yes. The NewsEvents API supports filtering using feedName, which allows you to fetch news related to specific sectors or practice areas. By applying the relevant feed names in the filter, the API will return all associated news items.
7. Why am I getting an “InvalidField” error when using the tracxn API?
An InvalidField error means the request contains an incorrect or unsupported field that the API does not recognise. Find the complete list of supported fields in the documentation.
For practice area - the correct filter to use is practiceArea.
