research question: SAM API #47

Open bsweger opened 9 years ago

bsweger commented 9 years ago

Is is possible to get historical snapshot data from the SAM API? In other words, is it possible to look up the information for a specific DUNS number at a specific point in time?

GSA/sam_api/issues/79

Will update if and when I hear back. There doesn't seem to be a documented way to do this.

Date search is coming on June 26th.

FWIW, SBA passed this along as the service they use in Prism for hitting SAM (I think it can accept dates, though is moot if SAM API is getting this feature): https://gw.sam.gov/SAMWS/1.0/Entity

Re-opening this, since the data features added in the latest API aren't exactly what we need:

Added ability to check companies that were added/updated /expired between 2 dates
Will use the following format
expirationDate:[2015-01-01,2015-05-05]
updateDate:[2015-01-01,2015-05-05]
createDate:[2015-01-01,2015-05-05]

So we might be back to this: https://gw.sam.gov/SAMWS/1.0/Entity?wsdl @micahsaul do you know who's our resident SAM expert in these parts?

Pasting in some SAM info that @yehk passed along via e-mail:

Although USAspending will only show the most recent data from SAM, you can research historical data by finding the company registration, go to Details, go to Entity Record. at the top of that page should be a drop down from which you can choose a particular year. you can then see the data they provided on that yea'rs registartion. [but you may already know this?]
