| Problem in the raw filings | What the API returns |
|---|---|
| Holdings are listed by CUSIP, which most products can't display | Ticker, FIGI and issuer name on every holding, mapped through OpenFIGI |
| Managers file amendments that restate earlier quarters | One authoritative position per manager per quarter, with the amendment history kept |
| Values are reported in thousands of dollars in older filings | Values in US dollars, consistently, across all periods |
| Filings show snapshots, not what changed | New, increased, reduced and exited positions computed for every quarter |
| Share classes appear as separate lines | Issuer-level roll-ups alongside instrument-level holdings |
| Famous investors file under fund or holding-company names | A curated set of 24 investors with verified filer IDs |
