Data Segmentation
The segmentation feature is a powerful API that provides instant insight into a dataset. Using this feature, you can find the top 100 sites, languages, authors, entities around a topic or a dataset, produced by a query.
It’s a powerful tool to get a 360° view of the dataset you’ve created. For example, you can segment the top forums for your query. For each forum, you can find the top authors, and for each author, the top users who comment on their posts. Another example is listing the top journalists who write about certain topics, or the top people or locations mentioned in a text.
