No URLs in beacon network response

[David Steinberg]

Hi Miro! 

You mentioned that you don't have the beacon URLs in the network response by design. The organization's profiles link seems to be to organization's web sites, and not their beacons. Sorry if I'm missing something here, but it seems like this hampers network discovery.

Thanks!

Hi David,

since we expose the data from the individual beacons under our API and take care of the conversions for all the API variations, we didn’t see any need to expose the links to these underlying APIs. You don't need them from the client perspective.

I see what you’re saying though, and we can consider exposing them in a future API version if there is a real use case.

Cheers,
Miro

Hi Miro!

Is there a link to the beacon-network code base?

Thanks!

Hey David,

unfortunately no (it’s not open).

Cheers,
