Get Defined Entity
Gets the defined entity with the unique identifier (URN)
id
id
Requests that the entities are returned in the specified version of their type. The classification of the requested type must be the same as the current entity type, only the version may differ. The returned entity contents will be converted to the requested type version according to the 'required', 'additionalProperties', and 'default' properties of the type versions schema. If the entity is RESOLVED, then the converted entity will be re-validated against the requested type version and an error may be returned if the validation fails. The conversion only affects the returned contents. The entity itself is not modified. To modify the version of the entity permanently, one must update it with a spec of a newer version or perform an upgrade/mass upgrade request.

}The id of the defined entity in URN format.
The URN ID of the defined entity type that the entity is an instance of. This is a read-only field.
The name of the defined entity.
An external entity's id that this entity may have a relation to.
A JSON value representation. The JSON will be validated against the schema of the entityType that the entity is an instance of.
Every entity is created in the "PRE_CREATED" state. Once an entity is ready to be validated against its schema, it will transition in another state - RESOLVED, if the entity is valid according to the schema, or RESOLUTION_ERROR otherwise. If an entity in an "RESOLUTION_ERROR" state is updated, it will transition to the initial "PRE_CREATED" state without performing any validation. If its in the "RESOLVED" state, then it will be validated against the entity type schema and throw an exception if its invalid.
The "entityState" field may have the following values: "PRE_CREATED", "RESOLVED", "RESOLUTION_ERROR", "IN_DELETION". Every entity is created in the "PRE_CREATED" state. Once an entity is ready to be validated against its schema, it will transition in another state - "RESOLVED", if the entity is valid according to the schema, or "RESOLUTION_ERROR" otherwise. If an entity in an "RESOLUTION_ERROR" state is updated, it will transition to the initial "PRE_CREATED" state without performing any validation. If its in the "RESOLVED" state, then it will be validated against the entity type schema and throw an exception if its invalid. Once an entity is ready to be deleted, if any external resources need to be cleaned up, the entity deletion process can be set up into multiple stages. The entity will transition into state IN_DELETION when the finalization process starts and will be permanently deleted once it completes successfully. If the finalization is not successful, the entity will once it completes successfully. If the finalization is not successful, the entity will remain in IN_DELETION state.
