How to directly fetch related resources
You can fetch either single related resources or collections by sending GET requests to the "related" link /api/<parent_resource>/:id/<related_resource> (i.e. the parent resource endpoint, specifying the single parent resource ID and the related resource you want to retrieve).
Make sure to use the relationship name and not the resource name (e.g., if you want to retrieve the billing address associated with an order, use billing_address and not just addresses — see example)
When fetching a list of related resources results can be sorted (see example) and filtered (see examples).
Examples
Fetching a single related resource (1:1 relationship)
Request
Response
The following request fetches the billing address associated with the order identified by the ID "xYZkjABcde":
curl -g -X GET \
  'https://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/orders/xYZkjABcde/billing_address' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token'
On success, the API responds with a 200 OK status code, returning the single related resource object:
