What data will I receive with the Datafeed?
You will define on set-up what data you would like to receive for each databank. You can either get the entire databank or create a saved selection (under a technical account that we will create for you). If you prefer the saved selection, you can update it at any time (add/remove dataseries etc.) and, on the next data delivery, you will receive the data based on your updated saved selection.
You will receive the data in CSV files. Based on the format, you can either get a single CSV file or a ZIP file containing 3 CSV files (for annual data, quarterly data and contacts)
Will the new files contain only the updated data series or all data series defined in my Data Feed?
The generated files will contain all data series you have defined. You can safely replace your local data with the newly received data. If you need to get only the changed data series, please see the metadata value called “Date of last update”, which contains the date that this data series was updated.
Will the filename be always exactly the same?
All filenames have a static name (either the name of the saved selection or a name defined at set-up for entire databank delivery). However, each filename has a prefix of the date the file was generated. Thus, every file will be unique and will not replace/overwrite the existing file in the FTP/SFTP server.
