Industry filtering help users find deals in specific industries.
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-8f4dSub-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-e067Note: 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.
