Get links on items on a web service

Hi experts,

This is regarding Business Central cloud.

On an item, you can make several links to files on some public server.

I would like to make these records available for a web service. How do I do that?

I can see that this has something to do with the table "Record Link" (number 2000000068). But I need to show the item number, description and the link to the file.

Hope, someone can help.

RE: Get links on items on a web service

Problem solved.

On the table "Record Link" there is a field called URL1. That contains the URL. I simply missed that.

Furthermore there is a field called "Record ID". I use that to get the Item-record like this where Rec is the "Record Link" table:

trigger OnAfterGetRecord()

var

RecordRef: RecordRef;

MyFieldRef: FieldRef;

begin

if Rec.Type = Rec.Type::Link then begin

RecordRef.Open(Database::Item);

if RecordRef.Get(Rec."Record ID") then begin

MyFieldRef := RecordRef.Field(1); // 1 = "No."

ItemNumber := MyFieldRef.Value;

end;

end;

RE: Get links on items on a web service

Thank you very much NorthW and YUN ZHU for your reply.

I still need to understand the table relations.

On one of my items, I have made two links to files on another server.

I have an Item record (no. 27). And I can see two records in the table "Record Link" (no. 2000000068).

But what is the link between table "Item" and table "Record Link"?

And when I have the "Record Link" record, how do I find the link (eg. "www.myServer.com\theFile.pdf")?

Hope you can help.

There is no standard API that gives you this information. So the best approach is to use a custom API for this:

docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-develop-custom-api

Then you can make a API that you use the Item No. as a input and return the Item no. description and links.
