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.
