Links

Suggest Edits

The _links object contains links to endpoints of associated resources and is meant to be used manually by new developers to easily navigate our API.

The _links object can contain several objects. Each object has a descriptive name and the resource link as the href attribute value.

For example, the party object may contain the _links object with the link to the endpoint of the contract party and the link to the endpoint itself, as shown below:

📘

Note:

If the associated resource does not exist or is not accessible, the href attribute will be null.

Links attributes

There are two types of _links attributes that will differ depending on the endpoint you use.
