Question by jon_aiera · Sep 28, 2020 at 05:31 PM · permidpermid searchopen perm

orgSubtype field available in entity search, but not in lookup

When I perform an entity search via the API and there are organization matches, they include an orgSubtype field -- ex:

 {
          "@id": "https:\/\/permid.org\/1-4298149013",
          "organizationName": "Canadian UNICEF Committee",
          "orgSubtype": "Foundation\/Charity",
          "hasURL": "https:\/\/www.unicef.ca"
 },

However, this data does not appear to available when looking up the PermID directly -- either via the API or on the website. Is this correct? Is there any way to obtain the orgSubType without doing an artificial entity search to hit on a PermID we already have?

@jon_aiera

I got an update from the Open PermID support team.

As per analysis “orgSubType” field is only made available for Entity search and not for Entity lookup/any other way in permid(via API or website permid.org).

So ideally there is no other way to obtain this field except through entity search.

@jon_aiera

Yes, you are correct. The entity search API returns orgSubtype.

However, the response from the lookup API doesn't have orgSubtype.

I will contact the Open PermID support team to verify this issue.

@jirapongse.phuriphanvichai Thanks for following up! It seems inefficient (both for API consumers and for Refinitiv itself) to require users to make arbitrary Entity Search calls for organization PermIDs they already have just to obtain orgSubType. Are there any plans to expose this data directly on lookup?
