Topics
Topics are the anchor for most Trendtracker exploration workflows.
A topic is a trend concept in Trendtracker's knowledge graph, such as:
- precision fermentation,
- edge AI,
- solid-state batteries.
Most exploratory flows start with topic discovery and then branch into indicators.
What You Can Do
- Search topics by name with
GET /topics. - Expand context with related topics via
GET /topics/{topic_id}/related. - Reuse one or more topic ids in indicators endpoints.
Why Topics Matter
Topics standardize language across signals:
- patents,
- research activity,
- investments,
- acquisitions,
- and organization presence.
This keeps your dashboards consistent even when source data uses different wording.
