# A link that opens the page with these inputs

`GET /link/{slug}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.craftquantities.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.craftquantities.com/v1/link/{slug}`
- Auth: none declared

Every other query parameter is an input id, its value written with its unit where it measures something: slabLength=3%20m, slabThickness=4%20in.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required: The calculator's slug, such as concrete-calculator.

## Query parameters

- `system` 'metric' | 'imperial': The unit system inputs left out open in, and the one the page link opens in. The answer comes in both.
- `market` 'US' | 'CA' | 'UK' | 'AU' | 'INTL': Optional. A market whose own opening choice some inputs take (a UK reader's code, an IEC motor), and whose currency symbol prints the caller's own money figures.
- `inputUnits` 'base': Send "base" to pass bare numbers on dimensioned inputs in base units (m, m², L, kg …), as the published test vectors are written. Without it a length, area or volume must carry its unit.
- `detail` 'full' | 'summary': full (the default): the whole answer. summary: the result lines, the citation line and the page only — fewer tokens to read.
- `format` 'json' | 'md'
