Golden Recursion

name: Golden Recursion
description: '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 published godel, an open-source Python SDK for
  its separate golden.xyz protocol GraphQL API. Backed by a16z ($59.5M raised); Golden was acquired by ComplyAdvantage on
  2024-04-24 and golden.com now serves an acquisition notice, though the API v2 endpoints and the Scalar API reference at
  docs.golden.com remain live and were re-verified 2026-08-14.'

  note: Round 2. Re-verified the live contract (docs.golden.com/openapi.json is byte-identical to the captured original).
    Added plans + rate-limits from the provider's own pages and a live header probe. Corrected the packages artifact (godel/goldnlp
    are name-only on PyPI with zero published files) and the lifecycle artifact (ComplyAdvantage acquisition 2024-04-24; docs
    are a static snapshot after the "pathfinder" spec server was decommissioned 2026-07-02). Removed Blog and Roadmap pointers
    and repaired Support/TermsOfService/PrivacyPolicy, which pointed at soft-200 SPA shells.
