Conditions and requirements
General
-
Your API user must have the Can access Knowledgebase security permission to use this entity.
-
Your API user must have Article Edit object permissions set to All or Mine to make changes to this entity.
-
Global Articles are not accessible via the API.
Special field attributes
The articleID and associatedArticleID combination must be unique. You cannot create the same association more than once via the API. A Delete action on an {id} will delete both association records, as one can't exist without the other.
Article and document associations are stored in a way that their relationship is defined twice - once for the articleID to associatedArticleID association and once for the associatedArticleID to articleID association.
In most scenarios this situation won't be seen by or impact the API. However, there is a circumstance in which two records instead of one record per association can be returned.
Two records:
GET .../ArticleToArticleAssociations/query?search={ "filter":[{"op" : "exist", "field" : "id" }]}
One record:
GET .../ArticleToArticleAssociations/{id}
GET KnowledgeBaseArticles/{parentId}/ArticleAssociations
