## Best Practices

### Prefer company domain for company matching

For CRM enrichment, data pipelines, account matching, and automated workflows, use `companyDomain` when available.

Company domains are usually more precise than company names and help reduce duplicate or ambiguous matches.

```json
{
  "companyDomain": "anthropic.com",
  "limit": 10
}
```

### Use company name for manual lookup

You can also use `companyName` to search for funding records by company name.

Company name search is useful for manual lookup, but for automated workflows, CRM enrichment, and account matching, use `companyDomain` when available.

```json
{
  "companyName": "Anthropic",
  "limit": 10
}
```

### Use `LAST-MODIFIED` for daily syncs

For recurring syncs, alerts, and automated workflows, use `LAST-MODIFIED`.

```json
{
  "dateType": "LAST-MODIFIED",
  "date": "2025-03-03"
}
```

This helps retrieve records that were newly added or updated on that date.

### Use `ANNOUNCED` for event-date research

For research based on when a funding deal was announced, use `ANNOUNCED`.

```json
{
  "dateType": "ANNOUNCED",
  "startDate": "2025-01-01",
  "endDate": "2025-03-31"
}
```

### Use funding rounds for stage-based filtering

Use `fundingRound` when you want to filter companies by investment stage.

```json
{
  "fundingRound": [
    "Seed",
    "Series A",
    "Series B"
  ],
  "limit": 25
}
```

### Use `dealAmount` with `currency`

When filtering by funding amount, include `currency` for more precise results.

```json
{
  "dealAmount": ">50000000",
  "currency": "USD",
  "limit": 25
}
```

### Use `valuation` for high-valuation company research

Valuation data may not be available for every record. It is typically available for selected companies, especially larger funding rounds or companies with billion-dollar valuations.

```json
{
  "valuation": ">1000000000",
  "currency": "USD",
  "limit": 25
}
```

### Use `limit` to control result size

The default limit is `100` records if no limit is provided.

```json
{
  "limit": 100
}
```

### Combine filters for more precise results

You can combine multiple filters in a single request to narrow your results.

```json
{
  "dateType": "ANNOUNCED",
  "startDate": "2025-01-01",
  "endDate": "2025-03-31",
  "companyIndustry": [
    "technology"
  ],
  "fundingRound": [
    "Series B"
  ],
  "dealAmount": ">50000000",
  "currency": "USD",
  "limit": 50
}
```

***
