How to populate your Watch Lists
Use Entity Match to find the right entities before adding them to a Watch List. Entity Match lets you search by name, type, or keyword and returns canonical Recorded Future entity IDs. This is the best way to ensure you are adding the correct, disambiguated entities to your lists rather than guessing at IDs.
For example, to find the right entity for a company you want to monitor, search Entity Match with the company name and filter by the Company entity type. The results include entity names, IDs, and descriptions so you can confirm you have the right match before adding it to a Watch List.
Watch List entity limits
Most Watch Lists default to a maximum of 1,000 entities. You can request an increase up to 15,000 entities for most Watch Lists by submitting a support request at support.recordedfuture.com. The Meta Company Impersonation Watch List is limited to 1 entity by default.
