Is it possible to extract number entities ?

Sure thing, you can use the fine_tune_spacy_ner setting to resuse existing spay entities. There is an entity for cardinals (https://spacy.io/docs/usage/entity-recognition#entity-types) which should capture numbers.

@tmbo is there an example I can use for the API for this ?

Before training your model you need to add this key to your configuration e.g.:

{
  "backend": "spacy_sklearn",
  "path" : "./models",
  "data" : "./data/examples/rasa/demo-rasa.json",
  "fine_tune_spacy_ner": true
}

After training your model you can use the server to shoot queries at it. and it should return your custom entities as well as the pretrained spacy entities.
