v1.4.2 - Macro Query Improvements & Sparse Parameter

Macro query sentiment now uses combined topic-subtopic names for explicit filtering. New sparse and align_to_period_end parameters added across all macro and event metrics endpoints.

Changed

• /macro/query/sentiment endpoint - Change topic and subtopics input to topic name that is combination of topic and subtopic. This means the topic-subtopic pairs are applied explicitly.

Added

• All macro endpoints - sparse parameter added to control whether null values are included in the sentiment index. sparse=True returns only non-null values (recommended); sparse=False returns a fully populated index with null values filled.
• All macro and event_metrics endpoints - align_to_period_end parameter added (default is false). When true, will align all indices to the end of the hour, rather than the start of the hour.
