Collection details
View a collection. For collections with item-type based metadata, all core and stock metadata (including title) is returned under a fields object and suppressed at the top level, with relational fields hydrated: authors → [{id, name, first_name, last_name, is_active, url_name, orcid_id, affiliations}], categories → [{id, title, parent_id, path, source_id, taxonomy_id}], funding_list → [{id, title, grant_code, funder_name, is_user_defined, url}] (url only when a dimensions id is present), related_materials → [{id, title, relation, identifier, identifier_type}], publisher returned as-is (string). Collections without item-type based metadata keep the legacy flat shape.
