Hey guys,

Based on some feedback -- and a current issue with mapping people to
companies || financial organizations -- we decided to create a page
that people can contribute to as we roll things up for a version 2
release. Not sure when this will come out, but if there are
structural things people want changing, please let us know.

work.

Will it be possible to have people, company, Financial
Organizations .. list in sorted order (can be a flag passed to sort
them asc or desc)

[Nicolas Parziale]

It would be great to have the results by pages or limits and starting
indices. The load is too heavy now. And it will get bigger.

Thanks!

ok so sortable parameters, and pagination. check, and check. I think
there's some caching to think about, but otherwise, should be fine.

what is the timeline for API V2

[Vladimir Ghetau]

I want to find the answers to the following issues:

- how do I know quickly which new companies have been added?
- how do I know quickly (with just 1 request to your API) which
companies have been edited?

To solve this, when calling the method which lists the entities, it
would be good to display in there the "date added" and "last time
edited" values. This saves lots of time, otherwise I'd had to query
each company/entity on it's own to check the date and see if something
changed which is an overkill for your API.

Best Regards,
Vladimir Ghetau

I want the full public "Activity Stream" or "Milestone" in crunchbase
speak. Sure I can request list entities from each category (there
should be an all entities/all namespaces call btw) and then request
the entities one by one to get the milestones, but that's insanely
expensive. Besides being able to get all milestones, I should be able
to filter: by namespace, by milestone type and by date range. You
already mentioned pagination but that should be included.
