Component body

API connector to the Freebase - everything-about-everything wiki-database project.

This project is a CLONE for new development, branched from https://drupal.org/project/freebase_api because that repository broke beyond repair. This is now the new master.

Provides a connector through WSClient to the Freebase services

It also provides a limited testing UI for these services at /admin/config/services/freebase to see what it's all about.
WSClient services being tested in the admin UI

The Freebase API project includes extra sub-modules that leverage the API -

  • Freebase Feeds Provides a Feeds fetcher that pulls from the web service, as well as a specialized result parser for digesting the result
  • Freebase suggest that supports autocompletion on node type fields
  • Freebase data Tries to map data fields from auto-retrieved content (currently unstable)
  • Freebase CCK that supports importing data schemas from Freebase type definitions into Drupal node types.

Some documentation may need renaming, to change references to D6 CCK into D7 field_api or from 'freebase_api' to 'freebaseapi'
