The hints parameter can be used to limit returned concepts to those that match the provided text, starting at any token of a concept label. This is the functionality that would be used for a search-as-you-type implementation.
So for example
http://<<Base URL>>/models/SpaceMissions/concepts?hints=moon b
Will return the Lunar Roving Vehicle as it has an alternative label of “Moon buggy”.
Note, if when asking for hints, the details of the match will be returned in an _details element. It is possible to use the extracts parameter to limit what data is returned for each concept. However, even if you have not asked for labels to be returned, the label containing the match will be returned.
