Augmentations
Take a look at our Targets page too.
Here are the individual sources that DataSift accesses. Click on each one to see what you can filter against:
- Common: Interaction
- Augmentation: Demographics
- Augmentation: Gender
- Augmentation: Klout
- Augmentation: Language
- Augmentation: Links
- Augmentation: Salience
- Augmentation: Trends
Augmentations are key components of the filters you write in DataSift.
We currently offer more than 300 targets and augmentations, and the number is growing. The augmentations documentation lists each one, organized by the service which provides them. It also gives examples of how to use them.
Whereas targets contain information directly from a data source, augmentations provide additional data. For example, if you use the Salience augmentation alongside Twitter, Salience analyzes each tweet to determine the author's sentiment, positive or negative. This allows you to filter for all the negative sentiment about a competitor's product, for example, and use that to decide how yours could gain advantage.
You can browse our consolidated list of all the targets and augmentations.
