The 'Find related entities' API provides a query function across all of a collection's indexed content. It returns all the DBpedia resources that occur with the specified dbpedia resource, in order of most frequent occurance (i.e. which entities commonly occur together in the collection).

To query a collection's content, send a GET request to the following URL:

http://muddy.it/collections/COLLECTION_TOKEN/entities/ENTITY_MD5/related
  • COLLECTION_TOKEN = The token for your collection.
  • ENTITY_MD5 = md5sum of a URL-escaped DBpedia URI

The available response formats are XML and JSON.

In addition, the following parameters can be set using a query string:

Parameter Permitted Values Mandatory (y/n) Default value
limit the maximum number of results to return a positive integer n -
minimum_confidence the minimum confidence of entities to include 0.0-1.0 n -
