Overview

Clean input data can make a big difference when it comes to retrieving the best results from your queries. With our Cleaner APIs, you can clean the company, location and school data that you employ in your API queries. We use these same APIs for standardizing our data as part of our Data Build Process.

Examples of Location Cleaning Using the Location Cleaner API:

Raw Location Name	Cleaned Location Name
"San Francisco"	`san francisco, california, united states`
"dc"	`washington, district of columbia, united states`
"USA"	`united states`
"London"	`london, greater london, united kingdom`

In short, the Cleaner APIs let you:

Clean company, school and location names before using them with our Search APIs.
Easily clean and standardize your own raw data for your own use.
