What you can ask for

Every kind of record SpecStream finds, each with a request to start from, the details you can ask for and the sources it reads to check them.

Where it looks

Google Maps · OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps · Yelp · Local directories · Food Standards Agency (UK) · Business websites

Where SpecStream looks depends on the request and on what each source makes available. It reads public sources. Details you ask for come back with their sources; the ones nobody published stay marked as unknown.

Ask for exactly what you mean

A good request reads like a good brief. Say it the way you’d say it to a sharp colleague, and SpecStream reads it into parts you can check and change. Try one:

Fill in the blanks

Findinwith. Leave out. Include.

  • How many100
  • Findsoftware companies
  • ✓ InGermany
  • ✓ With50 to 500 employees and an open sales role
  • ✕ Leave outagencies
  • ↩ Bring backthe job post and the email

Your request

Find 100 software companies in Germany with 50 to 500 employees and an open sales role. Leave out agencies. Include the job post and the email.

Open it in the workspace

Empty blanks are left out. In the workspace you’ll see how SpecStream read it, with anything unclear marked, and the price before anything runs.

Longer requests work too. The parts SpecStream understands:

  • What it has to have, with thresholds and combinations: “more than 50 employees,” “rated 4.5 or higher,” “in Lisbon or Porto,” “but not franchises.”
  • Exclusions: chains, closed places, or anything without a website.
  • Order and quantity: “the 25 most cited,” “newest first.”
  • Required or optional details. Required ones need evidence before a result counts. Optional ones can come back empty without sinking the record.

Wording that could mean two things stays visible for you to settle, instead of quietly becoming a guess.
