Aleph frontend API discrepancies

Hello there! I’ve joined here to get some help on my Aleph integration project. We’ve built a database of DPRK information here: https://dprk-reports.org/datasets/68 This is on Aleph frontend, and we are now using its frontend API to load content from our webapp. During implementation, I’ve run into some issues to which I seek solutions.

  1. Number of Results is different than shown in Filter counts. So, if you check this link, the results found is 7 while the count on sidebar filter is only saying 5. Similarly, here you can find 8 results against 4 count in filter sidebar.

  2. Another similar discrepancy found when I click “Mentions” in most of entity details like here So, 134 mentions of address, when clicked shows 135 results. Similarly, email “mentions” link also has different count than results found when clicked. One also thing when clicked on other name mentions there, opens this search result where Name filter says 0 count against 2 result found.

  3. Then, when I make AJAX call to this endpoint, it returns 480 count with address tag, while it only returns 134 in here This is a discrepancy seen in integration done on our end. (screenshot attached for this)

  4. How can I save/create new user for Aleph Alerts from our website? I don’t see API to create new user for alert in doc

Please suggest if I need to make individual support ticket for all these 4 issues.
LMK, if anything is not clear or need further informations.

Need to get these issues addressed before I can deploy. Any help is much appreciated.

Welcome, @sumit.kumar and thanks for your detailed questions.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly: in your first link I see 7 results and the entity type filter “Company” shows 7 results as well. Can you post a screenshot of the inconsistency?

I believe there is an inconsistency here in terms of handling mentions and specifically Mention entities. Have you used the crossreferencing functionality and did it run to completion successfully (unfortunately that is hard to see without looking at logs).

  1. Here’s couple of screenshot below that shows different count.

It happens to almost all filter types.

  1. For Mentions, screenshot below highlights, the number of count shown there agains the actual search result found when clicked.

This Mention issue is also there in point 3, when I make API call, it results different counts on my end.

@stchris Can you check the comments above please. Need to make these fixes to go live. Thanks.

Update

  • Point 3 is solved. I need help with Point 1, 2 and 4.
