Available topics

The curated topic set shared across tiers. Topic access is further scoped per key — your key’s topics array determines which topics you can query. Know-tier keys default to all curated topics. cyber, finance, disinfo, global
Need a private topic (e.g. a country, an industry vertical, a named adversary)? Know-tier customers can request custom topic provisioning — contact us.

Upgrade behavior

When a request targets a feature or topic your tier does not grant, the API returns 403 upgrade_required with a typed envelope: 
{
  "error": "upgrade_required",
  "message": "This endpoint requires the 'see' tier",
  "feature": "clusters",
  "current_tier": "watch",
  "required_tier": "see",
  "upgrade": true
}
This envelope is stable across every gated endpoint — build your upsell UI once.
