Step 4: Filter by Splitters

To focus the data on males, you can use a splitter to segment responses by gender.

What is a splitter?

A splitter allows you to divide a namespaces data into segments, such as demographic or behavioral groups. In this case, the gender splitter divides responses into “Male” and “Female.”

To find available splitters for the core namespace, use the Splitters Filter Endpoint:

curl -X POST "https://api.globalwebindex.com/v2/splitters/filter" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"splitters": [{"namespace_code": "core"}]}'

Response

{
  "splitters": [
    {
      "code": "q2",
      "namespace_code": "core",
      "name": "Gender",
      "accessible": true,
      "segments": [
        {
          "code": "q2_1",
          "name": "Male",
          "accessible": true
        },
        {
          "code": "q2_2",
          "name": "Female",
          "accessible": true
        },
        {
          "code": "q2_3",
          "name": "Other Gender (Select Markets Only)",
          "accessible": true
        }
      ]
    },
    ...
  ]
}

For this query, you can use the segment q2_1 for males.
