The 3rd term (object) of the event you are searching for, send "null" to match on all object entities

searchfield (required)
The field that you want to get suggestions for, can be "entity1", "verb", or "entity2". Note that currently only "indexed" entities (eg "disambiguated_name/type") are returned, and only the verb categories corresponding to verbs.
