Use the
relations
parameter to include one or more related entities in a single response.
The entity types in SkyVault are organized in a tree structure. So for example, the
sites
entity has two children,
containers
and
members. You can reduce network traffic by using the
relations
parameter to include one or more child entities in a single response. The parameter is a comma separated list of entity
types
relations=entity1,entity2,...
If you you invoked the following API method using the HTTP GET method:
sites?relations=containers,membersSkyVault returns a list of site objects, and retrieves the child container and member objects for each site in the returned collection, and returns them in a peer object of the entry object containing the site. Here is an example of the returned JSON:
