Kaiten

List metadata fields for a resource type

Returns a cursor-paginated page of the metadata fields declared for the org and the given resource type, ordered by displayOrder then createdAt. Only active fields are listed, unless includeArchived is set: an archived field's id is what unarchive-metadata-field takes.

GET
/metadata-fields

Authorization

bearerAuth read:metadata_fields
AuthorizationBearer <token>

A JWT verified by the proxy in front of this API, or a Kaiten access token (ksh_...) — send either as Authorization: Bearer <token>. The scopes listed on each operation are the ones the token must carry; write:<module> implies read:<module>, and read:* / write:* are wildcards over every module. x-kaiten-scopes lists every scope such a token can carry, including those enforced by a service in front of this API rather than by one of its operations.
