Primo Search API - how to get FRBR Group members after a search

Question

How can I get FBR group members after a Primo API Call? Primo only returns the preferred record.

For example:

https://api-eu.hosted.exlibrisgroup....ains%2CMedical Law%2C Text Cases and Materials&qInclude=facet_rtype%2Cinclude%2Cbooks&lang=eng&offset=0&limit=10&sort=rank&pcAvailability=false&getMore=0&conVoc=false&inst=[yourinst]&skipDelivery=false&disableSplitFacets=true&apikey=[yourapikey]

Let's say this returns with two records. First has multiple versions, second is a standalone record. 

In the answer we see this:

facets" : {
        "frbrtype" : [ "5" ],
        "frbrgroupid" : [ "9080144695921541630" ]
      }

And for the second record:

   "facets" : {
        "frbrtype" : [ "6" ],
        "frbrgroupid" : [ "9044144993984635352" ]
      }

Answer

In order to present the relevant records (i.e. the frbr group), the API call should contain the frbr group ID.

The frbrtype field in PNX can be used to determine is a record is part of a FRBR group or not. 5 means that it is part of a FRBR group, and 6 means that it is not.

To get all the records in an FRBR group, you have to create another API call using the frbrgroupid above:
