Streaming Radar

Check what sourced data Streaming Lens holds on a company, market, country or topic — WITHOUT returning the values. Returns how many datapoints match, which reports they sit in, which countries and years they cover, the confidence mix, when the most recent one was updated, and one sample datapoint with its metric name, unit, country, source and confidence but its value withheld. Use this to tell a user whether the answer to their question exists in the database and what it would take to read it. Matching is word-bounded, so short acronyms do not match inside longer words. Free access — no API key required. The values themselves are behind the paid MCP server; the response says where.

Full-text search across Streaming Radar articles, or — with mode=coverage — check whether a topic is already covered in the published corpus using semantic similarity (SR_CORPUS Vectorize index). mode=search (default): full-text search on title, subtitle, editorial_angle. Free access, no API key required. mode=coverage: semantic anti-redite + auto-citation check via vector similarity over the published corpus. Returns a channel-weighted verdict (DÉJÀ TRAITÉ / EFFLEURÉ / NEUF — only PUBLISHED pieces can block; briefs are non-blocking signals), plus citable hits (url + excerpt) for self-citation. Also returns a facts array: passages ALREADY PUBLISHED in the body of a piece that carry the same rare terms as the query — non-blocking, but they must be cited rather than re-announced as news. Requires SR_CORPUS and Workers AI. Free access.
