Creating a Custom Topic
This note describes the process and best practices for creating a custom topic using the Market Pulse API.
Topic API
The Market Pulse API is covered in detail here: https://docs.5x5coop.com/docs/market-pulse-api
There are two parameters required to create a custom topic:
- Topic Name: any character string, multiple words allowed
- Description: up to 150 words, providing more detail on that topic
Defining a Topic
Topic
Ideally, topics are neither too general (e.g. - "Sales"), nor too specific (e.g. - "Hewlett Packard Model 5890 Gas Chromatagraph Mass Spectrometer"). If the topic is a brand (e.g. - "Hewlett Packard"), the description should summarize the products and services the company provides, what industry the company is in, and competitive brands.
Topic Description
The ideal topic description would contain enough information for the AI engine to score content pages for their strength on this topic. Descriptions that don't contain enough information - they're too short - could result in fewer hits, and ultimately, a smaller audience. Conversely, descriptions with too much unrelated information could result in more false positives. Descriptions should be no more than 150 words.

range of issues related to a U.S. government initiative designed to support businesses
that retained employees during Covid-19 disruptions. The topic encompasses various ERC

"topic": "Neuropathy",
"description": "Neuropathy refers to nerve damage or dysfunction, with symptoms
that include pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. This medical condition primarily
manifests in various forms such as peripheral, diabetic, and autonomic neuropathy,
affecting different parts of the body, notably the feet and legs. The discussion of
neuropathy covers its causes, ranging from diabetes to alcohol use, and explores
numerous treatments including medications, lifestyle changes, and alternative remedies
like foot massagers and specialized socks. Peripheral neuropathy is notably common and
multifaceted, initiating significant interest in its symptoms, diagnosis through tools
like the ICD-10 coding system, and targeted treatment options. Efforts to manage
neuropathy involve understanding the underlying conditions leading to nerve damage and
employing both conventional and innovative therapies to alleviate symptoms and improve
life quality."
