Measured tools (12)

• check_data_coverage read-only

  Check what sourced data Streaming Lens holds on a company, market, country or topic — WITHOUT returning the values. Returns how many datapoints match, which reports they sit in, which countries and years they cover, the confidence mix, when the most recent one was updated, and one sample datapoint with its metric name, unit, country, source and confidence but its value withheld. Use this to tell a user whether the answer to their question exists in the database and what it would take to read it. Matching is word-bounded, so short acronyms do not match inside longer words. Free access — no API key required. Read-only: it never returns the values, and the response says which reports hold them.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Company, market, country, platform or topic (e.g. "ReelShort", "mobile money", "Nigeria", "micro-drama").
  • country — string — Restrict to one country as spelled in the data (e.g. "Nigeria").
  • report_slug — string — Restrict to one report silo (e.g. "vertical-invasion-2026", "africa-streaming-2026").

• sr_search_articles read-only

  Search Streaming Radar articles, or — with mode=coverage — check whether a topic is already covered in the published corpus using semantic similarity. mode=search (default): case-insensitive whole-query substring match on article metadata, plus indexed full-text search of published piece bodies. Multi-word body queries require all terms. Use short queries for names. Free access, no API key required. mode=coverage: semantic anti-redite + auto-citation check over the published corpus. Returns a channel-weighted verdict (DÉJÀ TRAITÉ / EFFLEURÉ / NEUF — only PUBLISHED pieces can block; briefs are non-blocking signals), plus citable hits (url + excerpt) for self-citation. Also returns a facts array: passages already published in the body of a piece that carry the same rare terms as the query (non-blocking). Free access.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — mode=search: short name or phrase; metadata matches a contiguous substring, published bodies match all search terms. mode=coverage: free-text description of the angle or topic to check.
  • mode — string — search (default) = case-insensitive substring match on title, subtitle and editorial angle of SR articles, plus full-text match on the bodies of published pieces | coverage = semantic corpus coverage check
  • limit — number — Max results (default 10, max 30) — mode=search only
  • top_k — number — Number of vector neighbours to retrieve (default 10, max 30) — mode=coverage only
