Knowledge - Feature - Entity Suggest
/knowledge/feature/entitySuggest/{fragment}/{comma-separated-list-of-community-ids}?geo=[true|1|false|0]&linkdata=[true|1|false|0]
Returns a list of entity suggestions based the sentence/query fragment passed in (eg what the user has typed so far into a query box).
Authentication
Required, see Auth - Login
Arguments
fragment (required)
One or more words (the last word can also be a fragment), which are "fuzzily" compared against known entities stored in Community Edition.
community ID list (required)
The list of community IDs or community ID - regex in the URL controls which sources the query will use. Obviously the logged-in user must have access rights to those communities. A user's communities can be viewed using the "person/get" API call.
geo (optional)
By default, where ("Where") entities have lat/longs associated with them, they are returned by this REST call. Specify this parameter as "false" or "0" to discard them.
linkdata (optional)
If specified as "true" or "1", then any "linkdata" fields for the entity (ie references to Web services that form part of the Linked Open Data Project) are returned. By default they are not.
