Resolve to a knowledge-base entry

0.1 credits / lookup

Looks up a person, place, or concept by name in the structured knowledge base and returns the unique identifier needed to fetch machine-readable facts. Also resolves fact field names (such as "date of birth") into the property identifiers required for a targeted structured lookup.

Use when

You need the identifier for a person, place, concept, or a fact field before pulling structured facts.

Not for

Returning the facts themselves (use get_facts), or a plain-language overview (use summarize).
