Roles/ Previous Roles start/end dates no appearing in API Call

Hi there,

When I'm running searches for entites that had been in different positions on the pilot api call, I don't seem to get any start dates or start/end dates for roles and previous roles. I even don't get any previous roles information

Test Data: Tony Blair, Donald Trump, David Cameron

Below is an example of what get for Donald Trump

"roles": [
{
"end": null,
"location": null,
"source": null,
"start": null,
"title": "State President",
"type": "Position"
}

"previousRoles": [],

Could you please advise what is going on here

Thanks

Derek

  • Hi @dereka ,

    At the moment there are no details on role start/end dates. This is something we’ve supported in data sets prior to World-Check, which is why it’s in our Entity data model that is exposed through the API, but it’s taken a while for World-Check to catch up. As far as I’m aware there are plans to add these into the WC data sometime this year, after which we should start to see valid data for these fields come through via the API.

    Regards,
