Current behavior

  1. Tags (references field):
    I have a custom “Tags” schema (not Squidex built-in tags).
    API returns only tag IDs: “tags”: [{ “id”: “tag1” }]
    I cannot directly access tag values (e.g. name).
    I tried: ?includeReferenced=1 but it does not provide a convenient way to access tag values inside items.

  2. Assets (images):
    API returns only asset IDs instead of direct image URLs from Squidex, so I have to manually construct URLs, which is adds extra complexity.

Expected behavior

  • Ability to access referenced values (e.g. tag name) directly in item response
  • Ability to get asset URLs directly in item response without manual construction

Have you tried the graphql endpoint? this is the perfect use case.

For my project, I am required to use REST API.
Is there a way to fetch referenced values and asset URLs directly via REST API, or is this only possible via GraphQL?

Not automatically, sorry. But the URL is basically deterministic and can be derived from the ID.
