​

​
Real-Time vs. Historical Data Considerations

The Explorium Business API provides both real-time event tracking and historical enrichment data:
  • Event-Based APIs surface only recent business activities (e.g., funding rounds, IPOs, hiring trends). Events are available only for a defined timeframe (typically last 3 months) and do not include historical data.
  • Enrichment APIs provide comprehensive historical data on companies, including firmographics, technographics, and financials, which can be used for trend analysis and deeper business intelligence.
  • For a complete picture, users can combine event tracking with enrichment data, enabling both immediate insights and historical context in their workflows.
