For Diffbot's internal use only.

• Type: String
• Example:

{
    "allOriginHashes": ""
}

allUriDetails

Additional information about each URI in 'allUris', which lists the URIs associated with this entity.

• Type: UriDetails
• Example:

{
    "allUriDetails": [
        {
            "domainMonthlyTraffic": 0,
            "nbFollowing": 0,
            "uriType": "",
            "verified": false,
            "nbLinkedAccounts": 0,

            "uri": ""
        }
    ]
}

allUris

All URIs associated with an entity. A URI (uniform resource identifier) is a page on the web that describes an entity (e.g., an company's homepage or a person's social network profile).

• Type: URL
• Example:

{
    "allUris": []
}

clusterWithOrigin

• Type: String
• Example:

{
    "clusterWithOrigin": ""
}

crawlTimestamp

The default crawlTimestamp is the most recent date of all of the crawlTimestamps of the origins used to compute the Entity, returned as a UNIX time.

• Type: Integer
• Example:

{
    "crawlTimestamp": 0
}

description

A few sentences describing an entity

• Type: String
• Example:

{
    "description": ""
}

diffbotUri

• Type: URL
• Example:

{
    "diffbotUri": ""
}

id

An alphanumeric string like CWSwJ_SWQPfqO3HQsxY4lGg that uniquely identifies an entity.
