Company news coverage

If you want to analyse upfront how much news coverage your universe of companies receives under your current data packages, reviewing the volume of documents available over the last month, 6 months, and 12 months helps you decide whether those packages are the right fit for your portfolio, and informs how you design queries in the Search Service to extract the most relevant insights.

You can review your current data packages, and explore others that you can unlock, in the Bigdata Store.

The script below leverages the Volume endpoint, which returns the unique number of documents and unique number of chunks matching a query over a given period. It sets an Entity filter and issues one call per company for the defined window.
