GET
/dossier
A one-hop brief on an entity: where it is mentioned, which hosts cover it, and which entities co-occur with it.
Building a picture of an entity by hand means running roughly ten searches and merging the results yourself, in context, expensively. Dossier is that operation as a single call.
It returns mention counts, the hosts that carry them ranked by authority, and the entities that appear alongside — which is usually where the next question comes from.
