# PDFs (/docs/proof-points/pdfs)



PDF proof points cover consulting reports and other indexed PDF documents. This replaces the deprecated consultancy-report indicator endpoints.

**Endpoints:**

* `POST /proof-points/pdfs/search` — [playground](/docs/api-reference/endpoints/search_pdfs_proof_points_pdfs_search_post)
* `POST /proof-points/pdfs/time-series` — [playground](/docs/api-reference/endpoints/pdfs_time_series_proof_points_pdfs_time_series_post)
* `POST /proof-points/pdfs/correlation-matrix` — [playground](/docs/api-reference/endpoints/pdfs_correlation_matrix_proof_points_pdfs_correlation_matrix_post)

## Typical Questions [#typical-questions]

* Which consulting reports mention this topic?
* How does PDF document volume change over the selected window?
* Which organizations appear alongside the trend in long-form reports?
