Entity(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Represents a phrase in the text that is a known entity, such as a person, an organization, or location. The API associates information, such as salience and mentions, with entities.

Attributes

Name	Description
name	str The representative name for the entity.
type_	google.cloud.language_v1beta2.types.Entity.Type The entity type.
metadata	MutableMapping[str, str] Metadata associated with the entity. For most entity types, the metadata is a Wikipedia URL (wikipedia_url) and Knowledge Graph MID (mid), if they are available. For the metadata associated with other entity types, see the Type table below.
salience	float The salience score associated with the entity in the [0, 1.0] range. The salience score for an entity provides information about the importance or centrality of that entity to the entire document text. Scores closer to 0 are less salient, while scores closer to 1.0 are highly salient.
