Learn how Exiger uses the Webz.io News API to search 120K+ news websites for adverse news events, uncovering risks across 1.3 million companies and people
Exiger, a leading provider of supply chain management SaaS solutions, needed to substantially expand news data coverage for DDIQ, its AI-powered supply-chain risk management and due diligence platform. DDIQ requires massive amounts of diverse, relevant, and timely data, including news data, to deliver accurate risk assessments and user insights.
To obtain news data at scale, the Exiger team had to make a choice: build a highly scalable web scraping solution in-house or buy one from a third party. They chose the latter, partnering with Webz.io, a web data provider with expertise in collecting, processing, structuring, and enriching news data from sources across the open web.
The Webz.io News API allows DDIQ to cover 120K+ news websites, gaining the news data coverage it needs to cast a bright light on all the relevant threats users should focus on.
“The combination of unstructured data from Webz.io along with our matching and classification abilities gives Exiger’s customers insight into risks that affect their business in ways that are not otherwise available in the market,” Sanjay Singh, Director of Product Management at Exiger.
