Not a third-party API marketplace
All our APIs are built and maintained in-house by our engineering team. For our customers, this provides several key benefits:
High-quality Data
We thoroughly vet all data sources to ensure that they are reliable and accurate before integrating them into our APIs.
Best Performance
Third-party API marketplaces make extra network requests which increase latency. Our APIs interface with data sources directly.
Direct Support
All APIs are built and maintained in-house, which translates to faster bug fixes and direct support from our engineering team.
Reliability & Availability
Our APIs are built to be reliable and available. We have built-in redundancies against software and hardware failures to ensure that our APIs work without interruption.
Security and Privacy
We go beyond industry standard security best practices to ensure that all data is handled safely and securely, and we never require any data that is not necessary for the APIs to function.
Data Encryption
We protect all data through enterprise-grade encryption both during transmission (TLS 1.3) and at rest(AES-256).
Zero API Data Storage
We do not store any input (e.g. query parameters, body data) or output (response data) from API calls.
Secure Payments
All payments are strictly handled through Stripe, our payment vendor. We do not have direct access to any credit cards or banking information.
Incident Response Commitment
We perform 24/7 security monitoring and have defined incident response procedures and customer notification protocols in place.
Privacy Compliance
We are fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations, and we provide the utmost transparency in our data practices. Read our privacy policy to learn more.
Infrastructure Security
We only use secure cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and regularly perform vulnerability assessments.
How we source our data
We know how important high-quality data is. Our rigorous 3-step process to vet all data sources carefully before integrating them into our API products.
1. Data provider audit
We carefully inspect not only the data source itself but also the provider's reliability, reputation, and business history.
In practice, this means that we use official primary sources whenever possible and only work with reputable data vendors.
2. Data quality inspection
Our engineering team manually inspects every data source to verify its accuracy and cleans the data before ingesting it into our systems.
For highly technical APIs we will also bring in industry experts to help validate the data.
3. Data coverage validation
We also manually check all datasets for sufficient coverage. This often involves benchmarking against industry leaders and working with customers directly to make sure that we can service their use cases.
