Data Services - list of available entities¶
The following list describes the entities which can be accessed via a call to the data services, either when reading a single record or a set of records. Apart from for a small number of special cases, each entity’s records are read via a view called list_*, detail_* or gv_* where * is the entity name and list, detail or gv are provided in the view web service request parameter. Also, most views return a website_id for each record and this is used to filter the records to those that are available to the calling website. Those which are not filtered in this way are indicated in the Website restrictions column.
