Glossary

Read access to glossary terms. limit bounds the result set: it defaults to 50 and may not exceed 200. There is no paging - narrow the search with the filters instead.

Each term carries a reference in the glossaryPath|termName form. That is the same reference form used by import and export, so a reference read here can be fed straight back into an import.

The glossary filter is a substring match over the glossary path, so filtering on a parent glossary also returns the terms of its child glossaries. It matches the same /-separated form the glossary field returns, so a value read from a response can be fed straight back in as a filter.

Results are flat: terms nested under other terms are returned alongside top-level ones.
