[Developers] getting parameters from multiple types

[Alexander Marks]

There is no easy way to do this right now in a single query. It is possible, but it's not pretty. One way to do what you want in two passes, though, would be to first ask for all the properties of all the types of the topic:

{
  "id": "/quotationsbook/author/4624",
  "type": [{
    "properties": []
  }]
}

and then construct from the result a second query that asks for each property:

{
  "id": "/quotationsbook/author/4624",
  "/music/artist/origin": [],
  "/music/artist/active_start": [],
  "/music/artist/active_end": [],
  "/music/artist/genre": [],
  "/music/artist/label": [],
  ...
}

This was a general example, I don't always know what are the parameters I can get beforehand. I just want the parameters under the item, on all its' types.
I only know what types I have and an ID.
Is there no way of just making a query that gives back all the parameters under these types?
Thanks, 
Lilach

You can always fully qualify a property name in order to mix properties from different types, like this:

  {
    "id": "/quotationsbook/author/4624",
    "/music/artist/album": [],
    "/film/music_contributor/film": []
  }

After getting the types for maddona I found my item: 

/film/music_contributor 

/music/artist 

Etc.. 



I also have the ID of this entity: 

/quotationsbook/author/4624 

Guid : #9202a8c04000641f8000000003ac7f48 



Can I create one query to get all the information under this guid under the different types? 



I need the information under /film/music_contributor such as : 

"film" : [ "A League of Their Own", "At Close Range", "Truth or Dare" ], 



and under /music/artist such as: 

"album" : [ "Rescue Me", "The Confessions Tour", "I'm Going to T … 



Thanks
