Site_full Use Cases

The "site_full" filter in Webz.io’s open web API allows users to limit search results to specific domains and, if desired, specific sub-domains within those sites. This filter offers a high degree of precision, enabling users to focus on content from exact sources, such as a primary domain (e.g., example.com) or a particular sub-domain (e.g., news.example.com). Here’s how this filter can enhance various use cases:

Focused Source Monitoring: For businesses or analysts who need to monitor specific websites, the site_full filter allows them to restrict results to exact domains. This is useful for tracking authoritative sources, such as a company’s official website, without pulling in content from unrelated sites.
Monitoring Sub-Domain Specific Content: Many large websites operate different sections or sub-domains for specific types of content (e.g., sports.example.com for sports or finance.example.com for financial news). By filtering for these sub-domains, users can target only the most relevant content, such as industry-specific updates or topic-specific sections.
Competitor Analysis: Companies can use the site_full filter to track content from competitors' websites or particular sub-domains, helping to gather insights into product launches, press releases, blog posts, or other key content areas. This targeted monitoring ensures that only competitor-specific data is collected.
Enhanced Content Curation for Aggregators: Content platforms or news aggregators can use this filter to include articles only from select, reputable domains, or specific sections within those sites. For example, a tech news aggregator could limit results to tech.example.com rather than the broader example.com, ensuring a high-quality, topic-focused feed for their audience.
Accurate Brand and Media Monitoring: For public relations or brand monitoring, the site_full filter allows brands to follow exact sites where they are regularly mentioned, like industry-specific news outlets or review platforms. This helps avoid unrelated mentions and keeps the results highly relevant.
Region- and Language-Specific News: Many news organizations operate multiple sub-domains for different regions or languages, such as fr.example.com for French coverage. The site_full filter can help users focus on news from these specific regions or languages when monitoring a global news source.
Research and Data Collection for Specific Sources: Academic researchers or data analysts can focus their research on particular domains and sub-domains known for reliable or specialized content. For example, a researcher interested in health topics could target only the health.example.com sub-domain, capturing precise, topic-relevant articles.

By allowing filtering down to exact domains and sub-domains, the site_full filter provides control over data sources, helping users focus on specific content areas and refine the scope of their search. This is essential for tasks that require highly targeted, reliable content from known or trusted websites.
