entities

Search entities by name

Search entities by name with relevance ranking.

Returns entities matching the query ranked by relevance (exact > prefix

substring), with associated domains and per-domain attribution confidence from entity signals.

Query is normalized using the same function used to store entity names, so searches like "Google LLC" and "google" both match the same entities.

When include_portfolio is true, top 5 results are enriched with a portfolio_count field from Reverse WHOIS preview mode (free, adds 1-3 seconds latency per entity).

Requires API key authentication via X-API-Key header.
