Exploring data

Explore reads the analytical entities published by Extend. Extend and Explore are in beta. The current product provides navigable evidence and purpose-built views; the pre-built price, availability, and assortment Analyses described in the product direction are not implemented yet.

Overview

The Explore overview summarizes observed coverage across countries, taxonomy, brands, Stores, Variants, Listings, current Offers, availability, currencies, and latest observation time.

Filter choices

Facets return dataset-backed options for country, category, brand, Store, and Variant. Options are constrained by the organization's own observed dataset.

Current markets

The current-market view groups current comparable Offers by exact Variant, country, and currency. It exposes lowest, median, and highest price, price spread, available and total Offer counts, Store and seller counts, and latest observation time.

Available filters include country, category, brand, Store, and Variant; result limits are capped by the API.

Changes

The Explore changes view compares current and previous Offer evidence to show price and availability changes with Variant, Listing, Offer, Store, seller, Capture, Run, and observation context.

The generic dashboard agent can query the lower-level extralt.changes table, but it does not have a dedicated tool for every Explore view.

Variant detail and history

Variant detail combines canonical Product and Variant identity with current Offers and observed price history. Use it to inspect exactly what was matched, where it is listed, the source URLs, sellers, availability, and observation times behind a comparison.

See the generated OpenAPI reference for the current Explore routes, filters, and response schemas.

Interpretation rules

• Treat results as observed coverage, not a complete market census.
• Keep countries and currencies explicit.
• “Current” means the latest observation in the customer dataset.
• Matching depends on the identifiers and product evidence available to Extend.
• Store currently means an organization-scoped host and country, not a retailer group or legal company.
• Do not infer sales, revenue, traffic, market share, or demand from product observations.
