Get Office
One office by id — the Wikidata QID (Q…) or the p_… id /api/v2/offices serves — with a capped preview of its holders ordered current → ended → unknown. holders_truncated says when to walk holders_url instead. A name is not looked up here: resolve it on the list first.
Authorizations
GDELT Cloud API key. Send as Authorization: Bearer gdelt_sk_....
Path Parameters
The office id.
Query Parameters
VALID TIME — who HELD the office on this date (YYYY-MM-DD), read from the start/end dates the publisher states. This is NOT knowledge-time replay: it is not routed through the can_use_asof gate and does not answer "what did we know then". An office-holder with no published start date cannot be placed on a date and is EXCLUDED rather than guessed — meta.undated_office_holders counts how many the date could not see. A future date is accepted and reads as "still in office as far as the source has published".
