> There’s content hal api which takes a uuid as path param, but that also has the “api url” like you mentioned above.

One correction: If you configure the parent mount (e.g, `hst:root`) of the Content HAL API mount (e.g, `hst:root/api`) with `hst:alias` [1] by setting it to `site`, then Content HAL API will include “site” link as well automatically like the following example:

```auto
  "_links": {
    "self": { "href": "http://localhost:8080/site/api/documents/18e36c35-429d-4fee-b76e-eeabcbfc08bb" },
    "site": { "href": "http://localhost:8080/site/events/2019/01/introduction-speech.html" }
  },

```

The installation steps [2] include a setting, `hst:mountsite: site`, which makes the relationship with the mount having `hst:alias: site`.

I’ll try to improve the documentation (installation and examples) to cover this later.
