Filters and Update Frequencies

💡

If you require more complex filtering criteria, please be aware that we offer Additional Data Services which may help. You can find the documentation here.

Our Point of Interest (POI) Data Pack provides a variety of options to cater to your specific needs. We offer Basic Packages and Add-On Packages, which you can mix and match to create a customised data set. Detailed documentation can be found here. After selecting the desired packages, you'll need to provide a set of parameters to further refine your request.

Request Parameters

To ensure the accuracy of our analysis, please provide the designated parameters. If omitted, we will resort to default values. However, if a default is not available our process cannot advance.

When a parameter explicitly Applies to a particular subset of attributes, it is applicable only if your data request encompasses that specific subset.

Update Frequency Types

The regularity of data updates plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and relevance. Kindly consult the accompanying table to assess our various frequency options.

Type	Description	Frequency	Applies to
Core	`N` files delivered per year. It may happen that the list of POIs changes in subsequent deliveries due to online data updates	- One-off (1 file) - Yearly (1 file per year) - Semiannually (2 files per year) - Quarterly (4 files per year) - Monthly (12 files per year)	Core Attributes alone
Standard	`N` files delivered per year with updated KPIs. The POI list and KPIs are initially updated within 12 months after the generation of the first file, and subsequently refreshed annually. In contrast, online content data is gathered anew with the creation of each file. POIs with first online presence in the 12 months preceding the first file generation might be missing.	- One-off (1 file) - Yearly (1 file per year) - Semiannually (2 files per year) - Quarterly (4 files per year) - Monthly (12 files per year)	Everything except Core Attributes alone
Advanced	`N` files delivered per year with KPIs updated every time. The POI list is also updated every time a new file is generated. The set of POIs is updated on each delivery. Please note that the list of POIs and KPIs are updated at most every three months.	- One-off (1 file) - Yearly (1 file per year) - Semiannually (2 files per year) - Quarterly (4 files per year)	Everything except Core Attributes alone
Frequent Sampling	For the files that contain trend information (e.g. Sentiment and Popularity) the data is sampled more frequently than monthly and/or for longer than 12 months.	Custom	- Sentiment Trend - Popularity Trend

Stable `poi_id` over time	Once a POI has been identified with the `poi_id` this value is persistent in subsequent files	❌	✅	✅
Check on closed `poi_id`	This allows the user to see POIs which have either opened or closed in the selected timeframe according to their online presence. The `date_closed` field in the files is updated as applicable.	❌	✅	✅
