WorldCheck API detailType UNKNOWN meaning

boris.chan

From the response of GET API at "https://api-worldcheck.refinitiv.com/v2/reference/records/e_tr_wci_8145131", there is a field "details" which is an array of objects. There is an object with the following content:

{

"detailType": "UNKNOWN",

"text": "Oct 2024 - named in a civil complaint for recording or causing to be recorded 440 inaccurate marks for 4 forward start reverse repurchase positions ((Positions 1-4) in the trading book at the firm, thereby concealing unrealised losses (Jun 2022 - Aug 2022) (Case No: 2022073296301).",

"title": "FINRA"

}

where the text content is useful to me. However, may I know what type of content may appear at the "text" when the "detailType" is "UNKNOWN"? And why is the data being classified as "UNKNOWN"? The source (FINRA) and the case number are both visible.

Hi @boris.chan,

We classify parts of Further information into several types: SANCTION, BIOGRAPHY, IDENTIFICATION, REPORTS, FUNDING, NOTE, REGULATION, and UNKNOWN. Any information that does not fit into these categories, as well as all other miscellaneous types, will be classified under UNKNOWN.

By using these classifications, we systematically organize and manage information, making it easier to retrieve and understand. If a piece of information, like FINRA, doesn’t fit into any of these specific categories, it will be placed under UNKNOWN to ensure it is still accounted for.

Thanks,
Ram.
