SmartSuite's record endpoints will optionally return "hydrated" objects when you pass the "hydrated=true" parameter in the request. This is done as follows:

Single Records

For single records, just attach a parameter to the GET request: ?hydrated=true like this:
โ€‹

https://app.smartsuite.com/api/v1/applications/[tableId]/records/[Record Id]/?hydrated=true

Multiple Records

For lists of records, send it in the JSON body of the POST:

{ "hydrated": true }

In either case you will receive record(s) that contain a structure similar to the following:

"sec059ca14": [
{
"label": "Value A",
"value": "48fefd4c-7cea-4f0e-8a36-f3af942e652c"
},
{
"label": "Value B",
"value": "8a349f68-ecd7-4f70-85dd-e03ed08aca84"
},
{
"label": "Value C",
"value": "53513512-630e-4976-a0a9-39e54206ca5c"
}
]
