Answer Types
Learn how to set up and use Saber Signals and supported answer types.
Saber Signals make it possible to scan any company for a specific signal or insight through the use of our API, from core firmographics to nuanced buying signals.
How Signals work
You submit a company domain (e.g., "acme.com") and ask a research question (like "What is their main product?")
The Saber platform uses agents to find and analyze data, and returns a structured answer based on the format you choose, whether that's plain text, a list, a number, currency, etc.
Answer Types
When creating a signal through the API, you can define the format in which you want to receive the answer.
Be sure to set the correct answer_type when defining the signals you want to use, taking into consideration how you plan to use that data in your workflows.

How to use Signal results
Saber returns Signals using an id, status, question, domain, reasoning, answer_type, sources and value, along with some useful metadata.
Value and reasoning
The actual answer is return in the requested format under value, while the reasoning explains how the answer was generated in a way that's useful for verification and auditing.
Sources
Any links referenced or search will be returned under sources, so you can review the raw info or reference it in your workflows.
