This example demonstrates how to use a Python Open PermID library. The library covers all features of Open PermID APIs including Record Matching, Entity Search, and Intelligent Tagging.
PermID is a shortening of “Permanent Identifier” which is a machine-readable number assigned to entities, securities, organizations (companies, government agencies, universities, etc.), quotes, individuals, and more. It is specifically designed for use by machines to reference related information programmatically. Open PermID is publicly available for free at https://permid.org/.
The Python OpenPermID is available on pypi.org. It can be installed via the following pip command.
pip install OpenPermID
To use the Python OpenPermID, the application needs to create an OpenPermID object and set an access token to it. The access token can be retrieved after login to the Open PermID website.
from OpenPermID import OpenPermID
opid = OpenPermID()
opid.set_access_token("<ACCESS TOKEN>")For more information, please refer to this Introduction to the Open PermID Python library article.
