The Enhance API takes an input of just a few identifiers about a person or organization and returns all the knowledge the public web has on that entity.

A simple Enhance call looking up an organization by name looks like this:

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://kg.diffbot.com/kg/v3/enhance?token=YOURTOKEN&type=Organization&name=Diffbot' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json'

The response will include some metadata on the call, including a confidence score for a correct match, and the complete entity record.
