  • URL: https://www.onlyworlds.com/api/v2/creature/{id}/links/{field}
  • Auth: API key in header API-Key and API key in header API-Pin

Path parameters

idstring uuid required

The creature's id (a malformed id is a 422).

field'species' | 'traits' | 'abilities' | 'languages' | 'actions' required

A multi-link field of this type (anything else is a 422).

Headers

If-Matchstring

Apply only if the element's change_seq is still this number (quoted or bare; * or no header means unconditional). When the element has moved, 412 precondition_failed with the live element as current beside the envelope; nothing is written and nothing is merged.

X-OW-Agentstring

Send it (any non-empty value) when an agent makes this write: the change is recorded with changed_via declared (a delete's tombstone with deleted_via). An agent seat's key and MCP are recorded as agent-made without it. The value is never stored.

created_atstring date-time required
updated_atstring date-time required
change_seqinteger required

The world change sequence at this element's last write.

created_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that created this element, or null when the world's owner did.

changed_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that last changed this element, or null when the world's owner (or the server) did, or no write has touched it since doors were recorded.

changed_via'seat' | 'mcp' | 'declared' | 'api' | 'v1' | 'sync' | 'server' | 'null' nullable required

The door of the last change: seat (an agent seat), mcp (the MCP server), declared (the request sent an X-OW-Agent header), api, v1, sync (the mobile app's sync) or server (the server, on its own behalf). The first three mean an agent made it. Null: no write since doors were recorded.

known_oftrue

Present, and true, only on an element this reader knows of but does not see whole: a guest or player reaches it only because its own Character's sheet links to it (one step out). Such a row keeps id, type, name, description, supertype, subtype, image_url, created_at, updated_at and change_seq; every other field reads as unset (text "", numbers and single links null, multi links [], created_by, changed_by and changed_via null, no extension fields), its files are 404, and search matches only its name and description. Absent: the element is whole. Any other grant (it names the reader's Character, the reader knows it, it is on the roster, the reader made it) makes it whole; a hidden element is never even a stub.
