You can also visit an endpoint's online documentation page to see a list of its retrievable fields (e.g., see the [inventor field list table](https://search.patentsview.org/docs/docs/Search%20API/SearchAPIReference/#inventor)). In earlier versions of the API not all fields were queryable as they are now. The field tables for all of the endpoints can be found in the `fieldsdf` data frame, which you can load using `data("fieldsdf")` or `View(patentsview::fieldsdf)`.

**An important note: By default, PatentsView uses disambiguted versions of assignees, inventors, and locations, instead of raw data.** For example, let's say you search for all inventors whose first name is "john." The PatentsView API is going to return all of the inventors who have a preferred first name (as per the disambiguation results) of john, which may not necessarily be their raw first name. You could be getting back inventors whose first name appears on the patent as, say, "jonathan," "johnn," or even "john jay." You can search on the raw inventor names instead of the preferred names by using the fields starting with "raw" in your query (e.g., `rawinventor_first_name`). The assignee and location raw data fields are not currently being offered by the API. To see the methods behind the disambiguation process, see the [PatentsView Inventor Disambiguation Technical Workshop website](https://patentsview.org/disambiguation).
