I have a query concerning the
ProviderSourceType property on Entity.sources array. When you retrieve a screened profile for a given entity, this property for each of the sources never seems to have a value in them.
Is this the case for the majority of Entities? I am finding it hard to find an entity with values in these optional properties.
Yes, LOCATION will work...here's an example...it will get documented going forward.
"countryLinks": [
{
"country":
{
"code": "CAN",
"name": "CANADA"
},
"countryText": "CANADA",
"type": "POB"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "USA",
"name": "UNITED STATES"
},
"countryText": "UNITED STATES",
"type": "RESIDENT"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "MEX",
"name": "MEXICO"
},
"countryText": "MEXICO",
"type": "RESIDENT"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "CAN",
"name": "CANADA"
},
"countryText": "CANADA",
"type": "RESIDENT"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "USA",
"name": "UNITED STATES"
},
"type": "LOCATION"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "MEX",
"name": "MEXICO"
},
"countryText": "MEXICO",
"type": "LOCATION"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "CAN",
"name": "CANADA"
},
"countryText": "CANADA",
"type": "LOCATION"
},
{
"country":
{
"code": "CAN",
"name": "CANADA"
},
"countryText": "CANADA",
"type": "NATIONALITY"
}
],
Hi @john.crocker,
There are a few places where this file is implemented, can you be more specific and include a sample of which occurrence you're referring to....
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian
I am talking about when you screen an individual. You get back an IndividualEntity as per the API documentation, this has a sources property with the property I am referring to above. However we are yet to see any values appearing in these optional properties of the "sources" records. See example:
"sources":[{"abbreviation":"WCDATA","creationDate":"2013-03-21T13:41:09Z","identifier":"b_trwc_4","name":"World-Check Data","providerSourceStatus":"ACTIVE","subscriptionCategory":"STANDARD"}]
Note it doesnt contain a "type" (ProviderSourceType) property. and these never seem to?
Is there any examples of this value populated in this context?
Brian
I think we have solved it now, however I have noticed one more thing. With the CountryLinkType enum, we have got an unexpected value. One of our profile queries returned a enum value with type of "LOCATION" According to the documentation, valid values for this enum are
NATIONALITY, OPERATESIN, POB, POD, REGISTEREDIN, RESIDENT, VESSELFLAG
Can you clarify please?
