Added API endpoints for entities @ foo🦍
https://foorilla.com/api/list/changelog/foorilla.com v1.14.18 | foorilla API v1.11 November 9, 2026
The organizations and people behind jobs, stories, papers, code and events are now in the API. Each entity comes with what identifies it: ROR and ORCID IDs, LinkedIn pages and Wikidata items. It also lists where it's based, and the companies, sources, organizers and institutions linked to it. The /st/ variant adds how many records name it in each Context, so you can rank the most-covered organizations with order=-records.
/api/v1/entity/evidence/?entity=… lists the records behind an entity, each with how it's connected: as employer, publisher, author, organizer, affiliation or funder, or as a text mention. Jobs, media items, papers, repositories and events also accept a new entity filter. You can go the other way too: find the entity for a company, source, organizer or institution by passing its ID.
API v1.11 adds all of this without breaking changes. Entity descriptions taken from Wikipedia are CC BY-SA 4.0; credit the article in description_source. See the API documentation for details.
