Our datasets include data for many different data types. Each market’s data may be returned in a multitude of data types. For example, requesting brand share data for Beer in France will return several records for value (different currency conversions, current and constant, etc.) as well as several records for volume (litres, barrels, etc.). These data types will be repeated for each brand returned. To refine your request, you can specify data types you want returned. However, the data types available to select will depend on the dataset, industry and categories you request.

This endpoint allows you to query the data types available for a specific dataset, so you can use these data types to refine a request to one of the main services.
