Product innovations by industry - Innovation developers by sector - Business process innovations - R&D collaboration patterns - Support measures and subsidies ## API Technical Details **Base URL:** `https://data.ssb.no/api/pxwebapi/v2` **Authentication:** None required (open API) **Rate Limiting:** Implemented client-side (100ms delay between requests) **Data Format:** JSON-STAT2 **Endpoints Used:** - `/tables?query={keyword}` - Search tables - `/tables/{id}` - Get table metadata - `/tables/{id}/data` - Get table data (not yet implemented for data retrieval) ## Usage Examples ### Example 1: Economic Context for IT Sector ```javascript { "tool": "economic_context", "arguments": { "industry": "62", "include_innovation": true } } ``` Returns: - High-growth IT companies (gaseller) 2006-2023 - New IT enterprise formations (quarterly) - IT sector employment trends - Innovation statistics for IT sector ### Example 2: Market Landscape with SSB Stats ```javascript { "tool": "market_landscape", "arguments": { "industry": "62", "region": "Oslo", "include_stats": true } } ``` Returns: - All IT companies in Oslo (from Brønnøysund) - Market concentration analysis - **SSB context:** Employment trends, production data, growth benchmarks ### Example 3: Growth Analysis with Benchmarks ```javascript { "tool": "analyze_growth", "arguments": { "industry": "62", "min_growth_percent": 50 } } ``` Returns: - High-growth companies from database - **SSB benchmark:** National high-growth statistics for comparison ## Implementation Notes ### Cache Strategy - SSB responses are currently **not cached** (TODO for optimization) - Company data remains cached in SQLite - SSB calls are made fresh each time for latest data ### Error Handling - Graceful degradation: If SSB API fails, tools still return company data - Console logging of SSB errors (doesn't break user experience) - Try-catch blocks around all SSB API calls ### Performance - SSB API calls are async and don't block company data fetching - Parallel fetching where possible (Promise.all) - Client-side rate limiting prevents API abuse ## Future Enhancements ### Potential Improvements: 1. **Data Retrieval:** Implement actual data fetching from SSB tables (currently just metadata) 2. **Caching:** Cache SSB responses in database for better performance 3. **Advanced Filtering:** Allow filtering SSB data by NACE codes, regions, time periods 4. **Trend Analysis:** Calculate growth trends from SSB time-series data 5. **Visualization Ready:** Structure data for chart/graph generation 6. **Regional Deep-Dive:** Enhanced regional statistics integration ### More SSB Tables to Explore: - Labor cost per person-year by industry (Table 07685) - Industry production index (Table 07095) - Bankruptcy statistics by industry - M&A transaction data (if available) - Revenue distributions by company size ## Testing **Build Status:** ✅ Successful **Server Startup:** ✅ Verified **Tool Count:** 8 tools (was 7, added economic_context) **SSB Client:** ✅ Integrated into 3 existing tools + 1 new tool ## Documentation Updated -
