Reltio Connect

With the Search Connections API, I can search for an individual entity and get any account entities that are connected to it.

However, neither the individuals nor accounts will have any reference attributes on them.

Is there way to have the search connections API include reference attributes?

I.e., can I make one API to search for individuals to get their connected accounts, and also include the reference attributes on the accounts? The reference attributes on the account may refer to other entities.

Hello Joseph,

Unfortunately, I don't believe reference attributes are currently supported within the Search Connections API. You may want to create an enhancement request for this behavior.

As an alternative option, you can use the "Get By Crosswalk Connection" API which offers the ability to obtain the related objects of the related object as a separate entities within the response.

Example: Individual > Organization > Affiliated Organization

Here is an example Payload Request Body:

    "main": {        "inRelations": [            {                "uri": "configuration/relationTypes/OrganizationIndividual"            }        ]    },    "nested": [        {            "outRelations": [                {                    "uri": "configuration/relationTypes/OrganizationHasAddress"                }            ]        },        {            "outRelations": [                {                    "uri": "configuration/relationTypes/OrganizationAffiliation"                }            ]        }    ]}

Hi Bryant,

Since then, I was able to use the findConnectedParties API call to accomplish this.

But thank you for sharing. Will keep it in mind for the future!
