Get structured facts

0.1 credits / lookup

Retrieves specific machine-readable data points for an entity: dates, geographic coordinates, population figures, external identifiers, and relationships to other entries. Returns exact structured values rather than a prose description.

Use when

You need specific structured values (population, date of birth, coordinates, identifiers) for a known entry.

Not for

Resolving a name to an id first (use resolve_entity), or a plain-language overview (use summarize).
