Use the Knowledge Graph to find look-alikes:

type:Organization similarTo(type:Organization name:"Walmart")

Try constraining to 'site' to match Articles in the KG:

type:Article site:"pbs.org"

You may now search job postings in the KG: type:Job site:"nature.com".

We released Excel Add-In v1.9.9.0 which includes:

You can now filter your Custom API rules with search.

We added a 'Graph view' to the Diffbot Knowledge Graph for Person and Organization profile data.

We've added a new Article API parameter that returns the word count for article text extracted as part of a Crawlbot or BulkAPI job: &wordcount

We've rolled out an update to the Knowledge Graph. Entity identifiers are now preceded by an ‘E’ for each entity regardless of the entity type. Previously, Diffbot Ids were preceded by a letter representing the entity type, i.e. ‘P’ for Person, ‘O’ for Organization, ‘C’ for Corporation, etc. The new format enables us to extend and scale the Diffbot Knowledge Graph to a wider and richer spectrum of entity types over time. Please note: all KG queries will continue to work as before. You do not need to modify the way you search the graph. Below is an example of the new entity id format you will see in results:

Example: IBM
"type": "Corporation", "Organization"
"diffbotUri": "http://diffbot.com/entity/EPdsrDmLiMQCskvBLp_dloQ"
"id": "EPdsrDmLiMQCskvBLp_dloQ"

Example: IBM Board Member & CEO, Virginia 'Ginni' Rometty
"type": "Person"
"diffbotUri": "http://diffbot.com/entity/EFCXA8DGjPMq5oTjl9RESEw",
"id": "EFCXA8DGjPMq5oTjl9RESEw"

quarterlyRevenues and yearlyRevenues with integer are now live:

the field yearlyRevenues.year (previously a String such as “2019”) is transformed into an Integer representing the year (2019)
the field quarterlyRevenues.quarter (previously a String such as “Q1-2019") is split into: quarterlyRevenues.quarter which is an Integer representing the quarter (1) and quarterlyRevenues.year which is an Integer representing the year (2019)

https://app.diffbot.com/search/?query=type%3AOrganization+quarterlyRevenues.revenue.value%3E10000000000

Eg.: Apple, Inc.

"quarterlyRevenues": [{"revenue": {"currency": "USD","value": 91818999808},"isCurrent": false,"year": 2020,

"filingDate": {"str": "d2020-01-29","precision": 3,"timestamp": 1580256000000},

"revenueDate": {"str": "d2019-12-31","precision": 3,"timestamp": 1577750400000},"quarter": 1}

Excel version 1.8.0.0

• Enhance V3 - we added an option to configure the number of matches/outputs returned per input, e.g. org name + homepage as input: specify return 1 match or 3 matches.
• Enhance V3 - we added an option to configure the acceptable match threshold. You can now specify a minimum threshold for the inclusion of an entity match/output.
• View a Diffbot entity regardless of the Excel Add-in status.
• Saved Searches - you can now save and load DQL queries from the Add-In. These queries are synchronized with the Diffbot Dashboard.

EnhanceAPI version v3

As part of API version v3, the following functionality is now available:

1. Fetch more than 1 result for an enhance query with &size=n query parameter:
   https://kg.diffbot.com/kg/v3/enhance_endpoint?token=DIFFBOT-TOKEN&type=organization&url=www.ibm.com&size=3
2. Specify the threshold score with &threshold=d query parameter: https://kg.diffbot.com/kg/v3/enhance_endpoint?token=DIFFBOT-TOKEN&type=organization&name=DummyName&url=www.ibm.com&threshold=0.1&size=3
3. Head top-n bulkjob records for preview with &head=n query parameter: https://kg.diffbot.com/kg/v3/enhance_endpoint/bulk/BULKJOB-ID?token=DIFFBOT-TOKEN&head=10
4. Bulkjob response format changed to jsonl from json (Content-Type: application/json-lines). Each enhanced record is on a separate line in the response. This, coupled with the head parameter enables clients to scale up more fluidly for large bulkjobs.

The API spec is available at docs.diffbot.com

Bulkjob retention

Bulkjob retention period has been increased from 7 days to 30 days.

Deprecation of API versions v1 and v2

API versions v1 and v2 are now deprecated and will be removed in future versions of the product. Please plan to migrate.
