type:CompanyReport

by Kris Negulescu

Company Reports are now available in the KnowledgeGraph as type:CompanyReport, and in LeadGraph in company profiles. There are two primary types of reports available:

  • SEC Filings
  • Documents found on a company’s website, like earnings call transcripts, annual reports, ESG reports, etc.

Initial coverage focuses on the top 1000, publicly-traded companies in the United States.

Please Note: there will be a scheduled maintenance window, including downtime for approximately 50 minutes, on Thursday, November 14th from 10 am PST until 2 pm PST.

The Diffbot DevOps team will be using this time to upgrade some of the underlying infrastructure supporting global crawls. To ensure the rapid restoration of uptime and stability of the platform, we are performing this upgrade during ordinary business hours.

During this maintenance window, all updates to the Diffbot Knowledge Graph will be paused. Access to Organization and Person data will continue. Access to Article data will be limited, i.e. you will not be able to download new article data from the graph for your sources, nor will you be able to access article data crawled more than 5 months ago. All other graph data types, including Products & Events, will be inaccessible.

Other Diffbot services will continue to be operational including Crawlbot, all Extraction APIs, the Bulk Extract API, the Natural Language API, and the Enhance APIs.

EventAPI Enhancements

We have —

  • Added categories for events
  • Improved rule handling for event location, date, title, and description.
  • Improved title, image, start & end date, and timezone extraction.
  • Added support for extraction of location from maps as well as text.

News on LeadGraph is a new feature that allows anyone to monitor breaking news for key risk and opportunity signals.

Monitor key business events like

New Products

For more personalized monitoring, you can also curate keyword and company lists. Unlike Diffbot APIs, LeadGraph is accessible via trial, only, for now. Reach out to us for access.

In July, we worked on better normalization for videos in HTML5 along with enhanced support for video controls and audio elements in podcasts.

Did you know Diffbot has a Natural Language API? Not only is it capable of extracting entities but also the relationships between entities in any body of text.

Use the NL API to build Knowledge Graphs from large corpora, or highly personalized news monitoring pipelines.

And starting right now, you can explore the Natural Language API in the dashboard without code. Give it a go at https://app.diffbot.com/natural-language/
