Sections of ESG Report

POST
/esg/v3/sections
Returns multiple sections of a Segment Benchmarking report in a single request.
This is more efficient than calling each section endpoint individually, and less payload than using the /esg/v3/fullreport endpoint.
Below is a reference table of all available sections and their descriptions. The response will vary depending on the included section(s).

Available Sections#
