Entries represent anything defined as a [Content Type](/references/content-preview-api/content-types) in a space.

Entries can have [link fields](/references/content-preview-api/links) that point to other entries or assets. You can
learn more about links in our [concept guide](/concepts/links).

### Entry object description

Entry object consists of the following top-level properties:

| Field    | Type     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| metadata | Metadata | User-controlled metadata. **Note**: Currently holds `tags` and `concepts` property, which contains lists of [tags](/references/content-preview-api/tags) and [taxonomy concepts](/references/content-preview-api/taxonomy) assigned to an entry, respectively. |
| sys      | Sys      | Common system properties. For detailed description of properties, please refer to [Common resource attributes](#/introduction/common-resource-attributes).                                                                                                     |
| fields   | Object   | Fields that are custom defined by a user through the definition of content types.                                                                                                                                                                              |

> **Info**
>
> `fields` object in CDA and/or CPA includes locale only when it is specifically requested in an API call or when your content is synchronized via [Sync API](/references/content-delivery-api/synchronization). Whenever locale is not included, the locale value in the entry object will be returned under the `sys.locale` property.

## Entries collection

In the JSON response of a successful query, linked items are placed in the `includes` array, when
not already fetched in the `items` array.

**Note**: Links in the Delivery API will always only resolve to published entries. Unresolved items
will not be present in the `includes` array. The Preview API will include draft entries with the
same caveat that unresolved links will not appear in the `includes` array.

[Get all entries of a Space](/references/content-preview-api/entries/get-all-entries)

## Entry

The `include` array is not applicable while retrieving a single entry.

[Get an entry](/references/content-preview-api/entries/get-an-entry)

## Unresolved entries

When querying an entry collection that contains at least one unresolvable reference (for example, an entry that was referenced by another entry has been deleted, or the referenced entry is **Archived** or in **Draft**), an `errors` array is returned in the response. This also occurs when there are permission issues.

An example of the errors array in the response:

```json
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "sys": {
        "id": "notResolvable",
        "type": "error"
      },
      "details": {
        "type": "Link",
        "linkType": "Entry",
        "id": "2bhYOW3HpzPgLPCDdwRrUB"
      }
    },
    {
      "sys": {
        "id": "notResolvable",
        "type": "error"
      },
      "details": {
        "type": "Link",
        "linkType": "Entry",
        "id": "Q1GLCTVUJgxsz9gYXFnl4"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
