How Industry Filtering Works

Industry filters enable deal filtering using two levels of of categorization. 'Super categories' and 'sub-categories'.

Super-categories

Super Categories are broad, high-level industry classifications, with over 50 available. They serve as the primary filters for general industry segments.

Filter using the superCategories variable:

GET /api/v1/deals?superCategories=messaging-and-telecommunications,sports-8f4d

Sub-categories

Industries offer a more granular filtering. Each Super Category contains 5-25 sub-categories.

Filter using the industries variable:

GET /api/v1/deals?industries=artificial-intelligence,fintech-e067

Note: a sub-category can appear in multiple Super Categories (e.g.,cryptocurrency appears under Financial Services and Blockchain and Cryptocurrency)

How to know which one to use?

For 90% of use-cases Super Categories will do the job, however there are some exceptions. For example, if you wanted only deals related to TradFi (within the Financial Services super-category) you are better off selecting a list of sub-categories that match your specific use case.

Important Note on Permalinks

To filter by industry in your API calls, always use the exact permalink shown in the documentation (e.g., artificial-intelligence-e551). Note that some industries may have similar names but different permalinks (indicated by suffix codes). Using the precise permalink to ensure accurate filtering.
