Parties

GraphQL can significantly enhance the power of your API Integration. To onboard, please reach out to your Account Manager for pricing information.

Parties is a field on the Entity root type that represents the entity's associated party records. Parties is an array of type Party, which has the following structure:

{
    entity(id: 10, charTypeId: 4) {
       parties {
            items {
                 id
                 title
                 partyId
                 partyName
            }
       }   
    }
}

Parties can also be filtered by specifying one or more party IDs in an array called partyIds:

{
    entity(id: 10, charTypeId: 4) {
       parties (partyIds: [1,2]) {
            items {
                 id
                 title
                 partyId
                 partyName
            }
       }   
    }
}

Response:

{
    "data": {
        "entity": {
            "parties": {
                "items": [
                    {
                        "id": 200,
                        "title": "Bob Smith",
                        "partyId": 1,
                        "partyName": "Licensor"
                    },
                    {
                        "id": 201,
                        "title": "Jan Smith",
                        "partyId": 2,
                        "partyName": "Licensee"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Paging

To limit response sizes, the Parties field utilizes paging. To page through the party records, use the skip and take parameters:

{
    entity(id: 10, charTypeId: 4) {
       parties(: 10, : 10) {
            items {
                 id
                 title
                 partyId
                 partyName
            }
       }  
    }
}

The default page size is 50.

There are also additional fields in the request that help to identify the total number of Parties records (totalCount), if a previous page exists (hasPreviousPage), and if a next page exists (hasNextPage). hasPreviousPage and hasNextPage are nested in a pageInfo object on the Parties object:

{
    entity(id: 10, charTypeId: 4) {
       parties(skip: 10, take: 2) {
            
            pageInfo {
                 hasPreviousPage
                 hasNextPage
            }
            items {
                 id
                 title
                 partyId
                 partyName
            }
       }  
    }
}

Response:

{
    "data": {
        "entity": {
            "id": 10,
            "title": "Deal 1",
            "template": {
                "templateId": 1
            },
            "parties": {
                "totalCount": 24,
                "pageInfo": {
                    "hasPreviousPage": true,
                    "hasNextPage": true
                },
                "items": [
                     {
                        "id": 200,
                        "title": "Bob Smith",
                        "partyId": 1,
                        "partyName": "Licensor"
                    },
                    {
                        "id": 201,
                        "title": "Jan Smith",
                        "partyId": 2,
                        "partyName": "Licensee"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Using these fields and parameters, you can page through the Parties in subsequent requests, using logic similar to:

if (pageInfo.hasNextPage)

skip = skip + take
