Social Media Profile Inputs for Web Presence

You can now pass known social media profile handles, URLs or names as inputs to the web presence request. Baselayer will parse those profiles, scrape/verify them during discovery, and report back whether each one matched.

{
  "name": "Ray's Pizza",
  "address": "123 Main St, Anytown, USA",
  "iso2_country_code": "US",
  "social_profiles": [
    {
      "site": "linked_in:company",
      "value": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/rays-pizza-anytown"
    },
    {
      "site": "instagram",
      "value": "@rayspizza_anytown"
    },
    {
      "site": "facebook",
      "value": "RaysPizzaAnytown"
    }
  ]
}

When profiles are provided, they’re used to validate and improve the confidence of the returned website and social profile data. Request-side additions:

input_social_profiles field on WebPresenceRequest - a list of {site, value} pairs where value can be a URL, handle, or free text

Response-side additions:

input_social_profiles field on both US and International Web Presence response, containing scraped social profiles derived from the caller’s input
social_profiles_match field returning a list ofInputSocialProfileMatch records indicating which input profiles were successfully independently discovered, scraped and verified by Baselayer

The behavior is additive - existing users don’t need to change anything.
