# Entities

When a transaction is enriched, usually one or more entities are returned.
These entities are unique and identified by an *id*.

An entity on our system represents an organization that can have any number of physical locations and be present in
multiple countries. The same entity can be obtained from different locations and websites due to this reason.
When querying our system for the website `amazon.de` and `amazon.com`, the **Amazon** entity is retrieved even though
they have different websites. Similarly, the same entity can be returned with different locations
referring to particular physical stores.

# Querying entities

It is possible to query our entity database directly through the API using the [Entities API](/documentation/api/entities).
You can search for an entity by name or by website and optionally with a location hint that is used to narrow down
the search.

In the response you will get the name, website and logo. We also offer the option to fetch a phone number,
tax number, and parent entity information. Please contact support if you are interested in this feature.

Alternatively, if you already have an entity id, you can get the original entity back:

<EndpointRequestSnippet endpoint="GET /v3/entities/{id}" />
