The Meta API for entities has been adjusted to always include the
identifier
and
shortIdentifier
for Entities, Fields, and Qualifications from now on. Additionally,
supportsListApi
and
supportsObjectApi
is now part of the Entity and Field objects. Here is an example of the HTML output:
For technical integrations, we strongly recommend not using the HTML output but the JSON or XML which can be fetched by providing
application/json or application/xml as accept header
.
Here is an example of a field definition in JSON:
