Measured tools (5)

• search read-only

  Search an encyclopedia for facts about a person, place, thing, event, or concept: Edgepedia, more than 400,000 articles with citations. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question; other names and misspellings match, and when no title matches, articles whose text does follow, marked `match: fulltext`. Returns results with id, title, url, and preview text, plus a `topic:` result when the query names a topic ("painters"); pass an id to `fetch`. `limit` and `page` reach further results.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — The name of a subject, or words from an article title.
  • page — integer — Which page of results, from 1.
  • sort — string — central = the most-linked subjects first.
  • first — boolean — true = only the best match.
  • limit — integer — Results a page, 1 to 30 (default 10).
  • topic — string — Only articles under this topic id (as `fetch` topic:… names it, without "topic:").

• fetch read-only

  Read an encyclopedia article in full: one Edgepedia article as Markdown with its citations, by a `search` result's id. Returns id, title, text, url, and metadata (topic path, license, credit). A `topic:` id lists that topic's parent, narrower topics, and articles, 120 a page; `topic:root` is the top of the tree, `topic:geo` the geography tree. `citations: false` gives [n] markers instead of inline source links. Show the `credit` line with any text you quote.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — The id of a search result (the last part of the article's address, such as "mount-fuji", or a topic's "topic:…" id).
  • ids — array — More ids to fetch with `id` in one call, up to 10 in all.
  • cite — string — Add a reference in this format (csl, bibtex, ris, apa, mla, chicago, harvard).
  • page — integer — A topic only: which page of its articles, from 1.
  • links — string — Add the articles linking here (in), the links it makes (out), or both.
  • query — string — Only the 3 passages that best match these words, each with a `cite_url`.
  • quote — string — A sentence from the article, or a chunk id: adds a `cite_url` that opens the page at it.
  • chunks — boolean — true = the text as paragraphs with stable ids, in `chunks`.
  • cursor — string — Where to continue, from a cut text's `next_cursor`.
  • format — string — The text as plain text, HTML, JSON-LD, or Turtle instead of Markdown.
  • length — string — snippet or lead for a short text; full (default) for the whole article.
  • tables — boolean — true = add the article's tables as JSON and CSV.
  • outline — boolean — true = add the list of the article's headings.
  • section — string — Only this section, by its heading ("Etymology", "History").
  • citations — boolean — Default true. false = [n] markers instead of inline source links; the numbered reference list stays.
  • links_page — integer — With links "in" or "both": which 30 articles linking here, from 1.
  • max_tokens — integer — Cut the text at a section boundary to about this many tokens; pass `next_cursor` as `cursor` for the rest.

• related read-only

  Find encyclopedia articles related to an Edgepedia article: its topic-mates, a few from each neighboring topic, and its geography neighbors. Pass its id, as for `fetch`. Returns groups of results; `fetch` a group's `topic` id for more.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — string — An article's id, as `search` returns it (such as "mount-fuji").
  • by — string — "links" = articles cited together with it, and articles linking to what it links to.

• connect read-only

  Find the shortest chain of in-text links from one Edgepedia article to another (at most 6 hops), with the sentence that makes each hop; pass two ids as `search` returns them.

  Parameters:

  • from (required) — string — The starting article's id (such as "koala"), its ep… id, or its title.
  • to (required) — string — The target article, named the same ways.

• resolve read-only

  Find which encyclopedia article a name means: Edgepedia's best match for a person, place, thing, or concept named in a text, with a confidence, whether the name is ambiguous, and the alternatives. Pass the name ("Mercury"), and optionally words from the text around it (`context`: "planet orbit") or a topic id the article must sit under (`type`). Returns `result` (id, title, url) and `alternatives`; pass an id to `fetch`.

  Parameters:

  • name (required) — string — The name as the text gives it.
  • type — string — Only articles under this topic id (as `fetch` topic:… names it, without "topic:").
  • limit — integer — Candidates to return, 1 to 10 (default 5).
  • context — string — Words from the text around the name, which favor the article they fit.
