Get Startup Audit

Return the field-level change history for one published startup within a time window. What this is: the immutable audit trail of edits to a startup's auditable fields (the startup itself and its team members, milestones, investments, uploads, socials). Each row is one change: which field, which operation (ADD/UPDATE/DELETE), the new value, the actor UUID, and when. Coverage — read this before interpreting results: rows exist ONLY for PUBLISHED startups and ONLY for HUMAN edits. Draft edits, im

Get Filters

When to use: Before calling search with a preferences parameter — valid values differ per index and MUST come from this tool only. Results are cached; repeated calls are cheap. Combine with: search (call get_filters first, then ALWAYS pass returned facets as preferences in every search call unless explicitly skipping filters). Prefer the index-specific wrappers (get_startup_filters, get_news_filters, get_corpo
