Help on retrieving $.notable.name

[Mario Gómez]

Hi guys.

I'm using the Freebase API on an app developed in Java.
The library is "google-api-services-freebase-v1-rev63-1.19.0.jar".

Upon a query, the code that worked last month was:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
GenericUrl url = new GenericUrl("https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search");
url.put("query", "Cee Lo Green");
...
HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = request.execute();
JSONObject response = (JSONObject)parser.parse(httpResponse.parseAsString());
JSONArray results = (JSONArray)response.get("result");
Object result = results.get(0);

// GET ENTITY'S TYPE (CLASS OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT)
String resultType = JsonPath.read(result, "$.notable.name").toString(); // ---> NOTABLE NO LONGER EXISTS NOW!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I get the object's type / class?

Thank you very much.

Mario.

Indeed, that property was deprecated but Freebase is no longer being updated (frozen, going stale). Let me put that property back into Freebase Search. This should be available tomorrow, Friday late evening CA time.

Actually, it's still available, just use output=(notable):

http://freebase-search.freebaseapps.com/?query=gore&output=%28notable%29&limit=10&scoring=entity&lang=en

As a reminder: Freebase is not being updated anymore and is going stale...

Thanks Andi.

I just sent you a snippet of my changed code in order to make it work, but actually I wanted to post it here, for everyone to see.
Can you post it for me? Thanks again.

Mario.
