Minimum Row Length
==================

.. code-block:: http

    /api/repositories/{repository}/entities/{entity}/rows/minlength

.. csv-table::
    :header: Parameter, Type, Purpose
    :widths: 20, 20, 60
    :stub-columns: 1

    repository, string, the name of the :doc:`repository`
    entity, int, The ID of the entity to view


.. http:get:: /api/repositories/(string:repository)/entities/(int:entityID)/rows/minlength
    :synopsis: Details of the shortest row in the entity

    Details of the shortest row in the :doc:`entity`

.. code-block:: http

    GET /api/repositories/jupiter/entities/1/rows/minlength HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/json

.. csv-table::
    :header: Response Code, Reason
    :widths: 25, 75

    200, No error
    500, Server error

The response will be a :doc:`standard-response`.

The ``columns`` array will contain the following columns:

.. csv-table::
    :header: Human Name, Column Name, Description
    :widths: 25, 25, 50

    "Row length", "_value", "The data value"
    "Frequency", "FREQUENCY_COUNT", "The number of times the data value occurs in the attribute"
    "Dist %", "_distribution", "A measure of how much of the attribute contains the data value"

The ``rows`` array will contain  a single element, showing the minimum row length details for the entity; the metadata will contain the URL to drill-down to the matching rows:

.. code-block:: json

    {
        "rows": [
            {
                "dataRow": [
                    "48",
                    "3394",
                    "99.971"
                ],
                "metadata": {
                    "url": "/api/repositories/alpha/entities/36/rows/minlength/matches"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

If there are no rows in the :doc:`entity`, ``rows`` will be an empty string.
