7. FAQ / Common Questions

How is data cleaned? We source data through public web scraping and licensed commercial agreements. All raw data shown in the Structured Insights portion of the platform is standardized, validated, and processed to ensure consistency before it flows into forecasts and trackers. Raw data can also be viewed as collected (in its raw format) on our Unstructured Data section.

How does it differ from Similarweb / Yipit / M Sci? TickerTrends is social-first. While others focus heavily on transactional or panel data, we believe social signals like impressions, followers, and engagement act as early leading indicators for consumer demand and eventual point-of-purchase behavior.

Can it be combined with my internal models? Yes. Data can be exported in CSV format or pulled via API and S3 bucket delivery, making it easy to integrate with your existing models or internal workflows.

Compliance / privacy Our data is fully anonymized and contains no personally identifiable information (PII). We do not scrape behind paywalls or spoof logins, and only display third-party data where we have the proper commercial permissions.

Can I access data via API? Yes. We offer full API access for programmatic integration. Contact [email protected] for details.
