Endpoints

• Private portal: https://www.brainstem.org/api/private/stem/collectionsession/ (needs a token; one record: append <id>/)
• Public portal: https://www.brainstem.org/api/public/stem/collectionsession/ (read-only, public projects, no token)
• Response keys: collection_session (detail, create, update), collection_sessions (list)
• Permissions: see the permissions page
• Uniqueness: collection, session unique together

Fields

[required] fields must be sent on create; [read-only] fields are returned but cannot be set. A nestable relation can be traversed in filters (filter{field.other}) and sideloaded with include[]=field.*; other relations can only be compared with ids (filter{field}=<id>). See the query syntax.

Field	Description
id	number [read-only]
session_name	computed [read-only]
session	session id [required]
collection	collection id [required]
order	number; nullable
