Minor API Addition

[Henry Work]

Hey folks,

I added two parameters to the basic Show Entity API tonight. Now, you
can know the original and latest modification timestamps for any given
entity:

The params are:

created_at -- the entity creation date
updated_at -- the entity's last modified date

Best,

-Henry

Hi Henry,
I saw the two paramers, but when i use the API like this to create a
page:
<script src="http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/person/bill-
gates.js&callback=getJson"></script>
......
My browser's erro consle gives me a message:
" missing } after property list. "created_at": Thu Apr 17 15:38:31
UTC 2008,\n"

Please check it, I use FireFox3.0.4 and windowsXP SP2, thanks very
much!
Best wishes.

I'm not sure if the ":" mark brings my problem.

Hey Sixer,

I've just pushed a change--the Time objects will now have double-
quotes around them. This fixes the error message.

Hopefully this will work as just as well,

Hi Henry,
Yes, it works well now, thanks very much, good work!
Best!

Hi Henry,

it would be great if it were possible to query the API by using the two parameters above. That would help a lot for the following uses cases:

• Which new entities have been added to crunchbase?
• Which entities have been modified since last time that I pulled out the data?

Let me know if there are any plans of adding a query-by-date (created or updated), that would be great! Thanks!
