find_entity
Look up a Colombian state entity by name to retrieve its NIT from a local directory. The search ignores case and accents, and requires all words to appear in the entity's registered name.
Instructions
Find a state entity by name and get its NIT. Immediate: it searches a local directory, not the dataset.
Case and accents are ignored, and every word must appear in one of the entity's names. Entities
are registered under their legal name: a city government ("Alcaldía de X") is often MUNICIPIO DE X
or DISTRITO ... DE X, and a "Gobernación" is often DEPARTAMENTO DE X. So when nothing has every
word, the search is repeated without the kind of entity and match says "place_only": check the
names before choosing. The directory is a snapshot; an entity that started publishing recently
may be missing.
