Freebase returning empty results for MQL query of topic description
freebase, google-api
Solution
The MQL API does not return entity descriptions. In order to get the descriptions, you'll need to use either the Search API or the Topic API.
Search API:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search?query=/m/027pfg&output=(description)
Topic API:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/topic/m/027pfg?filter=/common/topic
Problem
I try and use the google API freebase. I search for films description using the following query: ``` [{ "id": "/m/027pfg", "name": null, "/common/topic/description": [] }] ``` which result in : ``` { "result": [{ "id": "/m/027pfg", "name": "Big Fish", "/common/topic/description": [] }] } ``` the url: http://www.freebase.com/query?autorun=1&q=%5B%7B%22id%22:%22/m/027pfg%22,%22name%22:null,%22/common/topic/description but in the page itself: "http://www.freebase.com/m/027pfg" I do see the description of the film. this happenes alot and I can not get the info I need.
