Further Descriptions

project_slug

The project_slug is slugified version of the project name. Any spaces in the project name are replaced by a hyphen "-" to make it URL safe. To retrieve it, check the Developers section on your project details page. From the same page, you can download the full project definition in JSON format. It is used as a segment in the request URL.

branch_ref

The branch_ref is the reference of the branch input question attached to a form. To retrieve it, check the Developers section on your project details page. From the same page you can download the full project definition in JSON format.

Supplying this will return all entries for a particular branch input, regardless of the main entry to which each branch entry is associated.

branch_owner_uuid

The branch_owner_uuid is a unique identifier for an entry to which a branch entry/entries are associated. For example, if I have a Person form entry "Mr Doe", it may have 0, 1 or more Family Members branch entries associated with it, such as "Mrs Doe", "Miss Doe" etc and each of these branch form entries will be associated back to the main entry via the branch_owner_uuid.

Supplying this, along with the branch_ref, will return all entries for a particular branch input for a particular main entry.

To retrieve this, check the branch.data.branch_owner_uuid attribute of a branch entry object.

form_ref

The form_ref is a unique identifier assigned to each form. To retrieve it, check the Developers section on your project details page. From the same page you can download the full project definition in JSON format.
