Developer Information
Where does IBISWorld source its industry data?
IBISWorld’s industry data is sourced from federal statistical offices and industry-specific sources. Read our Sourcing and Methodology articles for more details.
Are there specific coding languages that users must know to implement this data?
Users of IBISWorld’s Snowflake product will need to use Snowflake SQL Query Language to extract the information from our Views. From there, it can interact with their system and, hence, is up to the user’s discretion which language they use to interact with the information.
To integrate the data, download flattened views from our ‘IBIS’ tables, or more tailored extracts from ‘NORMALIZED’ tables (standard data table format).
What are the specific database names or schemas used?
The Listing will automatically allocate the Listing Title as the database name when used. To simplify this, we recommend creating a custom database name for internal use. For example, the Listing,
IBISWorld Industry Data (Market Estimates and Forecasts, Financial Benchmarks, Risk Ratings, etc.)
will take this Listing title and create a database name as:
IBISWorld_Industry_Data_(Market_Estimates_and_Forecasts_Financial_Benchmarks_Risk_Ratings_etc)_
This could be simplified to something like:
IBISWorld_Industry_Data
The schema will default to IBISWorld’s schema named REPORTS.
When extracting data from Snowflake, views that end with ‘NORMALIZED’ are for users’ own manipulation of the data while views that end with ‘IBIS’ is a formatted view for quick analysis or CSV generation.
