Click here to download and install: Diffbot Add-In (microsoft.com)
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)
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}As part of API version v3, the following functionality is now available:

Industries/Category Updates
We've improved mapping to NAICS (93% industries covered) classifications for Org entities and updated our industries categories structure and label set.
Main updates (267 industries):
Added Retailers as main industry sector (+30 sub-industries)
Grouped the new industries categories list by major industry groups
Differentiated some specific cases.
E.g.: Furniture Companies --> (1) Furniture Manufacturers, (2) Furniture Retailers
Jewelry Companies --> (1) Jewelry Manufacturers, (2) Jewelry Retailers
Toy Companies --> (1) Toy Manufacturers, (2) Toy And Video Game Retailers
Vehicle Parts --> (1) Vehicle Parts Manufacturers, (2) Automotive Part Retailers
...
Motor Vehicle Manufacturers --> (1) Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, (2) Vehicle Retailers And Dealership
Sporting Goods Manufacturers --> (1) Sporting Goods Manufacturers, (2) Sporting Goods Retailers
...The Diffbot AccountAPI returns the usage for the supplied token, and a list of child tokens. However, it previously did not return a usage array for each child token. We added support for a parameter, childUsage, that will return the usage of the child tokens.
