What API Versions are there and where are the differences?

The News Analytics API is designed to accommodate a diverse range of analytical needs through its different versions, each offering unique capabilities and focus areas. Here's a brief overview of the available versions and their key distinctions:

Cockpit-release​

API URL: https://data.api.yukkalab.com/9-3-5/2023-12-13-0

Focus: Offers detailed news analytics with a shorter historical span but includes all available news sources. It utilizes extensive datasets and advanced NLP models, making it suitable for users seeking comprehensive news analysis.

Quant-release​

API URL: https://data.api.yukkalab.com/9-4-0/2023-12-13-0

Focus: Specifically designed for quantitative analysis in finance, this version offers a longer history of data but considers fewer news sources. It focuses on efficiency and providing relevant data points for financial modeling and analysis.

Key Differences​

  • Data History: Cockpit-release provides a shorter history but broader news source coverage, whereas Quant-release offers a longer historical dataset with a focus on key financial news sources.
  • Analytical Focus: Cockpit-release is tailored for comprehensive news analytics across a wide range of sources. Quant-release, on the other hand, is optimized for quantitative financial analysis, emphasizing efficiency and relevancy of data for financial decision-making.
  • NLP Model Processing: It's important to note that with each new NLP release, historic articles are re-processed with the updated model to ensure accuracy and relevance. The NLP models are designed to analyze language, events, and sentiment, independent of historical stock prices or other data.

Choosing between the Cockpit-release and Quant-release depends on your specific analytical needs, including the type of analysis you're conducting and the level of detail required in the data.

This versioning only applies to the News analytics API, not to the Metadata or Quant API.
