Getting Best Match via Entity Search API

Rajiv_Nagesh

Hi, Please see my code below

my sanctions_df_upgrade has a column caption which are company names. I am looping over that column and mapping it against the PermID db via the Entity Search API

My ask is - now I am assuming that the first match found with the parameter num set to 1 is the best match.
But is there a better way to get the best match from an input string?
Can we tune it to get the best match?

Please any leads would be helpful - Thanks

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I checked the PermID API User Guide and found that by default the results are ordered by relevance, i.e. quality of string match. For more information, you can refer to the Result Ranking section in the PermID API User Guide.
