Acoustic Authoring reference API

The Content Authoring reference API is used to retrieve information about references between items in the system. The type of relationships that are tracked depends on the type of item. Typically, if an item has an editable property that points to an ID of another item, it is tracked. You can use the API to fetch both incoming and outgoing references for any item.

Operations 4

POST /authoring/v1/references/outgoing Retrieve the outgoing references for items.
GET /authoring/v1/references/outgoing/{classification}/{id} Retrieve the outgoing references for an item with the provided ID.
POST /authoring/v1/references/incoming Retrieve the incoming references for items.
GET /authoring/v1/references/incoming/{classification}/{id} Retrieve the incoming references for an item with the provided ID.

      summary: Retrieve the outgoing references for items.
      description: "Use the `/references/outgoing` endpoint to retrieve outgoing references for items. This endpoint allows batch lookups by allowing multiple items to be looked at the same time\n### Examples: ###\n#### A simple lookup of the outgoing references for one item ####\nThe default depth to look for references in an item is `1`. If it is `depth.reached` and there are more references that are found in the item, the result `code` that is returned indicates that there are more references.\nYou can then either query at a higher depth or query for all items which have non empty `excluded` arrays.\n\nThe results are returned in a key value format with the `references` field where the key is the content hub ID of the item.\n\nIn Graph terminology, each element in the references object is a Node and the array of IDs in the `included` array on each Node is an outgoing edge to another node.\n##### Request:

the outgoing references for one item with metadata ####\nInstead of just getting a graph of content hub IDs, you can also request to retrieve metadata for each item.\n\nThe metadata returned are the

      summary: Retrieve the outgoing references for an item with the provided ID.
      description: "Use the /references/outgoing/{classification}/{id} endpoint to retrieve outgoing references for an item with the provided ID. The usage is similar to the batch outgoing reference endpoint (/reference/outgoing/) except the parameters are passed through query parameters and only one item can be requested at a time.\n\n ### Examples: ###\n #### A simple lookup of the outgoing references for one item ####\n The default depth to look for references in an item is `1`. If it is `depth.reached` and there are more references that are found in the item, the result `code` that is returned indicates that there are more references.\n You can either query at a higher depth or query for all items, which have non empty `excluded` arrays.\n\n The results are returned in a key value format with the `references` field where the key is the content hub ID of the item.\n\n In Graph terminology, each element in the references object is a Node and the array of IDs in the `included` array on each Node is an outgoing edge to another node.\n ##### Request: #####\n ~~~\n

        in: query
        description: Use the `filterType` parameter to inverse the filters. For example, if you are using `classifications=content-type`, it returns only content-types, however if you add `filterType=exclude` then, it returns everything besides content-types.
        schema:

          enum:
          - include

      - name: depth
        in: query
        description: The amount of depth to recursively look for references in an item. The default depth to look for references in an item is 1, so only direct outgoing references are returned. Use a higher amount of depth to get recursive references. Currently, you can request a maximum depth of 10 in one query. The filters like `classifications` and `statuses` can be used to limit amount of data that is returned when you work with references.
