google knowledge graph client

Gem Codecov

A ruby client for Google's knowledge graph to:

  • getting a knowledge entity by id
  • searching entities, while set limits by types, languages, and score

Usage

installing

gem install google_knowledge_graph

or in your Gemfile

gem 'google_knowledge_graph'

then

bundle install

config

You'll need an API key to make a request, see the doc for more information.

GoogleKnowledgeGraph.api_key = 'foo'

getting knowledge entity by id

Google knowledge graph responses entity result with @id like kg:/m/0dl567, yet it expects id being /m/0dl567 when querying the service. You may pass both into get and the prefix kg: will be automatically removed.

entity = GoogleKnowledgeGraph.get 'kg:/m/05pbsry'

# the `data` field contains the original payload
entity.data
=> {
  "url": "http://www.nbc.com/community-show/",
  "detailedDescription": {
    "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_(TV_series)",
    "license": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License",
    "articleBody": "Community is an American sitcom television series created by Dan Harmon that aired on NBC and Yahoo! Screen from September 17, 2009, to June 2, 2015. "
  },
  "@id": "kg:/m/05pbsry",
  "name": "Community",
  "@type": [
    "Thing",
    "TVSeries"
  ],
  "description": "American sitcom",
  "image": {
    "url": "https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Community_(TV_series)",
    "contentUrl": "https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRvfDLB01VDeWHLm-4R68LHym6-RzrQxe2PJF9aLNDw96kL7D-2"
  }
}
