Freebase: Discussion about Bug / Feature Request

Bug / Feature Request: Urgent Require - Fetching Content - http://www.freebase.com/api/trans/raw is not working.

2008-10-10T17:14:08.0012Z

Hi Hemang.

A recent data update seems to have caused the problem. We are working on resolving that as soon as possible. In the meanwhile if you are running this specific query for wikipedia articles only (i.e. not in a generic library or something of that sort), you can get the same content by using the /api/tran/blurb service with a very hign number for maxlength like so:

http://www.freebase.com/api/trans/blurb/%239202a8c04000641f8000000000acd66c?maxlength=3000

This will only work for wikipedia based topics. The reason being that we do not maintain the complete wikipedia article on our backend. However we do allow /api/trans/raw requests for wikipedia based topics, it simply returns the same content as the blurbs without truncating the content.

HTH

Thanks for bringing this up. The data format for blurbs changed, and a piece of the API was overlooked. It should be fixed soon; stay tuned for more information.

Bug / Feature Request: Deleting First Address

2008-10-10T15:40:34.0018Z

Sometimes a company in Freebase has two cities in the HQ address area when it really doesn't. If the second city is correct, and you delete the first address line, and then try to add information into the remaining line, the autofill fields won't work. You can type things in there, but the auto-suggest won't "open" and you can't link the field to an actual topic. You have to close out and then go back in.

In case that is confusing :) here's hopefully something that will help:

Company XYZ

Company/Headquarters "field"

Line 1 = Paris

Line 2 = London

Go in and delete Paris. Then try to fill in the other address fields for the London line. the fields that link to other topics won't work.
