This release includes improved metadata handling for datasets, introduces some new entity types in the followthemoney data model and allows for less performance-heavy matching queries using the fuzzy flag. In detail:

  • We've introduced several new entity types in the followthemoney data model which will be used to provide more detailed information regarding politically exposed persons. We advise all users to update the API now so that the new entity types will be reflected correctly.
  • Using the /match API on a very large dataset can cause heavy load on the ElasticSearch index because of the Levenshtein-based fuzzy matching it uses. In this version, we've introduced a fuzzy= query parameter, which lets users disable that functionality. Please note that this doesn't affect the scores generated by the API; but it may lead to less recall on very specific queries.
