Golden Recursion

Golden Recursion Inc. builds Golden, a San Francisco company using machine intelligence to construct a self-building knowledge graph of millions of connected entities — companies, people, venture-capital firms and products — each described by structured, cited properties. The Golden API v2 gives developers read-only, programmatic access to the same data that powers the Golden Query Tool: retrieve entities and their cited properties, pull the results of saved queries by ID or permalink, and introspect the entity-type and predicate schema. Responses are structured JSON with underlying source citations so every value can be traced. Authentication is a simple apikey header. Golden also ships godel, an open-source Python SDK for its protocol GraphQL API. Backed by a16z.

Golden Recursion publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Entity API API, Query API API, and Schema API API. Tagged areas include Company, Knowledge Graph, Data Enrichment, Entity Data, and Company Data.

Golden Recursion’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.
