I have the following MQL query which successfully returns the record for William Shakespeare.
[{
"/type/object/name": null,
"/type/object/id": "/en/william_shakespeare"
}]
I am trying to get the description attribute. When I add “description”: null, I get a ‘no description attribute found’ error. Yet, looking at the record in freebase, it should be there:
http://www.freebase.com/experimental/topic/standard/en/william_shakespeare
The topic API aggregates results across a number of Freebase services; the descriptions are stored separately from the other data about a topic and you’ll have to use the text service to fetch them, rather than MQL directly.
As an aside, you should probably consider changing to the new Freebase APIs; those hosted at (www|api).freebase.com are deprecated and will (allegedly) be turned off in October.
