Many of the values returned by the API are IDs, so there's a selection of dictionaries to get the friendly names. As a (slow and heavy) reference you can get all datadict dictionaries:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary (not suggested for general use)

If the dictionary is set up in datadict you can access via api_group/table_reference. The end points below will return the full list of IDs and friendly names.

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/organisations/district

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/referrals/project

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/contacts/contact_type

You can also search for items in the dictionary:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/search/referrals/project/SEARCH_TERM

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/search/referrals/referrer/SEARCH_TERM

For Extension Database which are "Select From Option List" or "Radio buttons", there is a dictionary for each field: https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/extension_database/INSERT_API_COLLABORATION_NAME_HERE
