System API

Knowledge infrastructure for research and development

Whether you're training a model, building a research tool, enhancing your application's intelligence, or powering advanced analytics, our API is designed to give you the full power of the System Graph.

Comprehensive coverage

The API gives you access to a wide array of data sources that are integrated into a cohesive graph. See our corpus of source material here.

Always up to date

The System Graph is updated daily, ensuring that data lag isn’t an issue. Your applications and models will always be using the most up-to-date data.

Scalable and reliable

The API is built on a scalable architecture that can handle high volumes of requests while maintaining reliability and performance.

Graph traversal

Identify the factors directly affecting or affected by any node, investigate potential mediators, and explore multi-hop pathways.
