The v4 Rightsline API is accessed using the subdomain https://ris.rightsline.com.
For access to other environments, please refer to for the proper v4 subdomain.
The AWS region for the US API has also been changed from us-east-1 to us-west-2. The EU region has not been changed (eu-central-1).
To transition to v4, adjust all existing calls' authorization to reference the new AWS region and update the URL of each endpoint to account for the new subdomain.
All rightset endpoints have been replaced by for consistency.
To transition to v4, adjust all existing calls to reference the new endpoint names.
The parentUrl and childUrl properties have been removed from entity relationship objects, and have been replaced with parentTemplate, parentStatus, childTemplate, and childStatus objects.
To review what encompasses the entity relationship object, see .

If a user attempts to update fields on an entity that they do not have permission to update, the API will return a 403 - Forbidden status code, instead of ignoring that field in the request.
If a user attempts to execute a workflow action on an entity where the action is not available from the current status, the API will now return a 403 - Forbidden status code with the message "Action X not available to be taken from status Y", instead of returning a 200 - OK status code with the message "false".
Entity objects will now include two new fields, statusUpdatedById
and statusUpdatedDate
, indicating the user and time of the last status update.

Each search endpoint will return a max of 100 records per page. If a value greater than 100 is passed in the rows
field, the search will still only return 100 records per page.
To transition to v4, adjust all existing search calls to request a maximum of 100 rows.

To protect against the response size becoming too large, we have removed the fields
from the /*-templates
endpoint responses. To retrieve the fields on a template in v4, you will need to retrieve a specific template by its template ID, like /v4/table-templates/2
will retrieve all the fields for table template ID 2. See for an example.
