Using short ID in place of CSIDs

Foreknowledge of the parent authority CSID is no longer necessary. Only the short ID of the parent authority needs be known, which for MMI is urn:cspace:name(person). Likewise, the CSID of the person authority record can be replaced with the short ID of that record.

The URL structure can be formatted with CSIDs 

http://cspacetest.collectionspace.org:8180/cspace-services/personauthorities/acc60b93-3a09-47eb-bd8f/f23e6629-53e1-4021-82be-58e70f34e0fc/

or with short IDs

http://cspacetest.collectionspace.org:8180/cspace-services/personauthorities/urn:cspace:name(person)/urn:cspace:name(oc2584)

Also see /wiki/spaces/collectionspace/pages/666273476.

Get referenced authority records

Append authorityrefs to the API URL for a collectionobject record to get a list of referenced authority records': sourceField, itemDisplayName and refName (in short ID format).

An example API call for authorityrefs for a given authority record

http://cspacetest.collectionspace.org:8180/cspace-services/personauthorities/urn:cspace:name(person)/items/urn:cspace:name(FOOPERSON1330911677949)/authorityrefs

Get cataloging records referencing a specific person authority record

Getting a list of cataloging records referencing a specific person authority record follows the same API construction listed in the previous section. An additional query path component is used, refObjs, to filter referencing cataloging, procedural or authority records. By default refObjs filters by procedural records, i.e. records that are not collectionobjects nor authorities, but using a ?type=object parameter will filter by object record. Likewise, ?type=authority will filter by authorities.

An example API call would be as such 

http://cspacetest.collectionspace.org:8180/cspace-services/personauthorities/urn:cspace:name(person)/items/urn:cspace:name(FOOPERSON1330911677949)/refObjs?type=object
