New Product Blueprint Sub-Tier Trade History Risk Factors

We are excited to announce the release of five new beta trade history risk factors for API & Bulk Data users. These risk factors are precomputed utilizing our proprietary product blueprints to more accurately identify relevant sub-tier supplier forced labor risk. The new risk factors will be available in addition to the legacy ones, operating as a subset.

Compared to their legacy ones, the new risk factors backed by product blueprints offer:

  • Increased relevance by identifying sub-tier suppliers that received the same or similar goods originally shipped from an entity associated with forced labor risk
  • Reduced noise via ~80% fewer false positives
  • Risk information (called origin_shipment_product) indicating the type of good initially shipped from the origin entity associated with risk

For more details visit our Risk Factor Documentation

Rate Limits Updated

We have shifted to a tiered rate limiting system — see Rate Limit Documentation for details.

June-25

Q2.2024 Release

Beta Updates

  • Updated the upstream supply chain mapping endpoint, which can be used to access Sayari Map functionality via API. It is now /supply_chain/upstream, and the response structure, is similar to that of a traversal.
  • Released /resolution/persisted. And endpoint to support a single request to resolve, save and assign attributes to entities in projects for the purposes of notifications.
  • Updated project notifications to allowing sorting in descending order.

Deprecation & Sunset Updates

  • shipment entities sunset from Entity Search. Utilize Trade Search - Shipments going forward.
  • shipper_of and receiver_of sunset from the relationship_type object within the EmbeddedEntity data type. Utilize the trade_count object going forward.

May-07

Deprecation Notice: Shipments - EmbeddedEntity & Entity Search

Effective: June 25th, 2024, the following changes will occur:

EmbeddedEntity Modifications

  • The relationship_type object within EmbeddedEntity will no longer include shipper_of and receiver_of relationship types.
  • Instead, API users should reference the new trade_count object within EmbeddedEntity to analyze the volume of shipments sent and received by an entity.

Affected Endpoints (with EmbeddedEntity in the response)

Current | relationship_count
1{
2    "relationship_count": {
3        "shipper_of": 969,
4        "receiver_of": 109,
5        "ships_to": 75,
6        "receives_from": 26,
7        "notify_party_of": 59

New | trade_count

2    "trade_count": {
3        "sent": 969,
4        "received": 109
5    },
6}

Entity Search Endpoint Changes

Entity Search will no longer return entity type shipment in the response. Instead, if the desire is to search for and return shipments, we encourage API users to adopt the new Trade Endpoints, which are designed to offer enhanced capabilities for searching and analyzing trade data, suitable for both investigative and supply-chain use cases.

It will still be possible to understand if a company or person has trade data from Entity Search by referencing the above trade_count object.
