For a second I thought this actually gave access to the graph, so you could actually traverse it a la 'see the edges, visit the nodes', which surely would have piqued my curiosity. This doesn't seem to offer much more over HN user/DuckDuckGo operator Gabriel's API[1]. I have a console app I've written that queries WolframAlpha and DDG. Between the two, > 90% of my 'fast questions' get answered (with the added bonus of a decent privacy policy).

- chris_st 11y agoIt would be interesting to see if one could start with (say) the OpenCyc ontology, and expand it using this or the DDG search.

- mark_l_watson 11y agoI used Knowledge Graph when I was a contractor at Google. Graph queries are not cheap, entity lookups should be inexpensive. I am very happy that Google opened up this API. I used to use Freebase, and I use DBPedia a lot. When I get home from traveling I am looking forward to kicking the tires of the new API.
