Hi Gursimrat 

the reason why you are not getting a view_href is probably because view_href doesn't make sense for Labels as they don't have a visual representation.

 

What would you expect to see should the label have a visual representation?

NicoB  So what is the REST call to get the URL of the labels?

    Hi Gursimrat ,

     

    I don't think labels have URLs associated with them. They are usually text. Though I think we can customize to make a label as link , by adding a filter by label function to it.

     

    I think this REST call would return all posts with a particular label text associated with it.

     

    /restapi/vc/boards/id/video_cards/replies/for/labels/text/label_text
    /restapi/vc/posts/for/labels/text/label_text

     

    Hope that helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Sam
