# Get a specialisation's curriculum structure

GET https://unsw-v6-dev.advance-uac.com/institution-api/institution/catalogue/specialisations/{code}/{year}/structure

The curriculum of a Major / Minor / Honours stream as a nested tree of containers, in the same
shape as a program's. Each carries its requirement (`creditPoints` = the UOC that must be taken
from it), its entries and its child containers.

Follow here from any entry in a program's structure whose `itemType` is not `Course`, using
that entry's `code` and `year`. An entry with `resolved: false` is one that would 404 here.

DRAFT containers are hidden unless you pass `includeDrafts=true`.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Paste a Keycloak access token (no "Bearer " prefix)

## Servers

- `https://unsw-v6-dev.advance-uac.com/institution-api` (Dev, default)
- `https://unsw-v6-test.advance-uac.com/institution-api` (Test)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `code` (string, required)
- `year` (integer, required)

### Query parameters

- `includeDrafts` (boolean, optional, default: false)

## Response

### 200

The specialisation's curriculum as a nested tree.

- `code` (string, optional)
- `year` (integer, optional)
- `structure` (list of StructureView, optional) — The root containers, normally a single "Academic Structure".

## Errors

### 404 Not Found Error

No such resource for this institution.

- `status` (integer, optional) — Repeats the HTTP status code.
- `error` (string, optional) — What went wrong, in a form safe to show a developer.

## Types

### StructureView

A container in a curriculum: a requirement, its entries, and its children.

- `id` (string, optional) — Use this as `structureId` when adding or removing a subject.
- `title` (string, optional)
- `description` (string, optional) — The handbook's requirement sentence, e.g. "Students must take 30 UOC of the following subjects."
- `creditPoints` (integer, optional) — UOC that must be taken from this container.
- `creditPointsMax` (integer, optional)
- `dynamicRules` (list of map from string to any, optional) — The handbook's wildcard requirements ("any General Education subject"), for display only, since nothing evaluates these.
- `items` (list of StructureItemView, optional)
- `children` (list of StructureView, optional)

### StructureItemView

An entry inside a curriculum container.

- `id` (string, optional)
- `itemType` (string, optional) — Course | Major | Minor | Honours | Specialisation | Research. Only Course can be added through the API; the rest came from the handbook.
- `code` (string, optional)
- `year` (integer, optional)
- `name` (string, optional)
- `uoc` (integer, optional) — Credit points this entry contributes.
- `resolved` (boolean, optional) — False when the code isn't in our catalogue. Only ever the case for entries from the original handbook import, because subjects added through the API must resolve.
