Structural sections
Get All
Gets all items with optional filtering, pagination and sub-resource expansion.
Results are always sorted by Id ascending.
Pagination metadata is returned in response headers (Total-Count, Offset, Limit).
Expand defaults to none on list endpoints so payloads stay lean;
pass Expand=all to hydrate sub-resources. Sub-resource expansion is
opt-in per resource type โ resources that don't define sub-resources ignore the parameter.
query Parameters
SectionsSection Ids to filter by, in SG list format (e.g. "1,3-7,10").
Omit to return all sections.
OffsetNumber of items to skip from the start of the result set. Default is 0.
LimitMaximum number of items to return. Default is null (return all).
ExpandSub-resource expansion. Defaults to none; pass all to hydrate sub-resources.
Controls sub-resource hydration on entity GET endpoints.
Shared across every resource that supports expansion โ a given resource's
metadata (expandable) lists which sub-resources All hydrates.

resourceTypeIdentifies entity types managed by the API. Kept separate from SGFileID to allow for future API-only entities that may not have a formal SPACE GASS FileID.
countCurrent count of items in this resource. Null for sub-resources whose count does not apply uniformly.
maxIdMaximum Id currently in use (single-int Id entities only).
nextIdNext available Id (single-int Id entities only).
Field definitions describing the resource's wire shape. Each entry corresponds
to a property on the read DTO; jsonName matches the JSON key clients see.

Replace With Library Section
Replaces the section at the given Id with a library-sourced section. The existing row
is deleted and a new row is created at the same Id, resolved from the SPACE GASS
section library by (name, library). Use this to convert a User section to a Library
section, or to re-resolve an existing Library section against a different library
entry. Any id in the request body is ignored โ the route Id wins.
