Structured, company-attributed news from the articles Specter monitors. Each signal is one classified company mention within a single article — so an article naming three companies produces three signals — with an AI summary of what’s newsworthy and a 0–5 importance score.

​
Data categories

  • Article — article_id (shared across signals from the same article), article_url, title, published_date, featured_image_url.
  • Classification — meaningful_updates: REVENUE_UPDATE, PROFIT_UPDATE, TRACTION_UPDATE, FUNDING_UPDATE, DEAL_UPDATE.
  • Summary & importance — whats_new (AI summary), score (0–5; 4+ is major news), traction.
  • Company link — entity_id, company_name, company_domain.

Notes

  • One signal = one company mention in one article. Articles naming multiple companies share an article_id.
  • score runs 0–5; 4+ is treated as major news (major_only filters to those).
  • meaningful_updates classifies the news: revenue, profitability, traction, funding, or deals.
  • signal_id is a plain integer (not a prefixed string).
  • The by-ID lookup costs 1 credit per request.
