What Do The Different Event Ranks Mean?

Rank is a log scale numerical value between 0 and 100 when using the API. In the WebApp, it is broken down by minor to major, to give you a quick visual indication of potential impact.

PredictHQ currently offers 2 types of rank as follows:

• PHQ Rank™ - Represents the potential impact of an event independent of its geographical location.

• Local Rank™ - Represents the potential impact of an event on its local geographical area.

In the WebApp you can use the API Explorer to look at the rank parameters and how to use them to filter and sort events data. You can also use the search functionality in the WebApp to. See also our Events API reference for information on how to filter and sort on rank in your API calls.
