Links

HATEOS links are used throughout the Olympics API to identify optional relationships when they are needed.

The API does not support full HATEOS links but this pages identifies where you can expect to see links.

The main resource that exposes the links is the Unit Resource. We use the links in this instance to display when results are available.

Example can be seen below.

{
    "code": "LUGMSINGLES-----------FNL-000100--",
    "description": "Men's Singles Run 1",
    "start": "2017-09-11T00:40:00Z",
    "end": "2017-09-11T01:40:00Z",
    ,,,
    "link": [
        {
            "rel": "self",
            "href": "http://olympics.api.pressassociation.io/games/OWG2018/unit/LUGMSINGLES-----------FNL-000100--"
        },
        {
            "rel": "unit-result",
            "href": "http://olympics.api.pressassociation.io/games/OWG2018/unit/LUGMSINGLES-----------FNL-000100--/result"
        },
        {
            "rel": "phase",
            "href": "http://olympics.api.pressassociation.io/games/OWG2018/phase/LUGMSINGLES-----------FNL-"
        }
    ]
}
