Platform Updates

Retrieving Element Instance Objects During Authentication

You can return a list of all data objects in an element along with their source (the vendor, a virtual data resource, or normalized Cloud Elements object). In the request body include the optional "retrieveObjectsAfterInstantiation": true value. The response includes an objects array like this example:

"objects": [
  {
      "name": "incidents",
      "vendorName": "Case",
      "type": "ceCanonical"
  },
  {
      "name": "Task",
      "vendorName": "Task",
      "type": "vendor"
  },
  {
      "name": "myAccounts",
      "vendorName": "Account",
      "type": "vdr"
  }
]

The objects list includes:

• name The name of the Cloud Elements object. This is name that you'll find in the API docs and endpoints. For example, requests to the objects in the example would look like GET https://api.cloud-elements.com/elements/api-v2/incidents (or /Task or /myAccounts).
• vendorName The name of the object specified within the API provider's system.
• type Specifies where the object is defined:
  • vdr indicates that the object is a user-defined virtual data resource that is mapped to the API provider resource identified in the vendorName attribute. For more information see Introduction to virtual data resources.
  • ceCanonical indicates a normalized Cloud Elements object associated with the raw API provider object identified in the vendorName attribute.
  • vendor indicates that the object is available to use via the GET /{objectName} endpoint. Requests bypass any Cloud Elements mappings and call the vendor endpoint directly, while still proxied by Cloud Elements. In this case, name and vendorName attributes are identical.

Updated status code for failing to refresh access token

We updated the status code and message returned when you your OAuth token is revoked or expired and the attempted refresh fails.
