Concept

People

A profile is one person: who they are, where they've worked, and what they hold.

Profile types

Every profile carries one of three types. You can filter searches by type.

TypeMeaning
business_ownerA director, officer or owner of an organisation
investment_advisorAn individual registered as an investment adviser
brokerAn individual registered as a broker

Work history

A profile's work history lists each organisation and role, with start and end dates where known. The entry with no end date is the current role. The same history drives get_company_people, which is why a company's people list includes alumni unless you ask for current staff only.

Ownership and statements

Ownership lists the stakes a person holds in organisations, as a separate call. Statements are the annotated passages on source articles: what the person said, and what others said about them. See statements.
