Data Types

The Schema pages contain every available field for each dataset. Each field has a listed type. This page includes additional details about the supported data types if they differ from the industry standard definition.

Array [Enum (String)]

A comma separated list of enumerated values. You can find the enumerated values here: Canonical Field Values.

Array [Object]

A comma separated list of objects. Our naics field demonstrates this concept.

Dates

Dates can be accurate to the day (YYYY-MM-DD), the month (YYYY-MM) or the year (YYYY). The most specific date value that we have for a field will be used. In general, dates are stored as String values. The founded field in the Company Schema is stored as an Integer data type and describes the year the company was founded.

Enum (String)

A string that contains one of our enumerated values. You can find the enumerated values here: Canonical Field Values.

Integer (>=0) or (1-5) or (>0)

Our integers are general positive values and some fields, like languages.proficiency, have a limited range of observed values.

Object

Fields with this data type contain nested data values. Our experience and education fields demonstrate this concept.

Strings

Unless otherwise stated in the Schema page for a field, all strings will be lowercase with all leading or trailing whitespace removed.
