# Create Client Reference

export const EndpointButton = ({title, href}) => <div className="button-container">
    <a className="button" href={href}>
      {title}
      <span className="arrow">➜</span>
    </a>
  </div>;

While not strictly required to use the ValueChecker API, it is good
practice to create a Reference record prior to every usage session.
Think of it as a shopping cart where Appraisal records are collected and
can be modified prior to being retrieved into your system. The claim
reference number of a policyholder's claim can also be used as the
Client Reference.

<Note>
  If your implementation is only using the CP and RP steps, you may skip
  creating a reference.
</Note>

Client references have a user defined label (`client_reference`) and a
`client_reference_id`. The `client_reference_id` is used to interact with
the ValueChecker API to identify a reference.

<EndpointButton title="Create Client Reference Endpoint" href="/api-reference/default/client_reference-1" />

# List All References

To list your existing references (or ‘Carts’), you can use the same
endpoint. This returns all references belonging to the user the token
belongs to.
No parameters are required

<EndpointButton title="All Client References Endpoint" href="/api-reference/default/client_reference" />

# Display Specific Reference

You should have a `client_reference_id` from [Step 1: Create Client
Reference](/api-reference/create-client-reference) to use in the request path.

<EndpointButton title="Get Specific Client Reference Endpoint" href="/api-reference/default/client_reference-2" />

# Get All Client References With Appraisals

To get all client references with their appraisals for all users within your client, you can use this endpoint. This is useful for bulk data retrieval such as exports and reporting purposes.

<EndpointButton title="# Get All Client References With Appraisals Endpoint" href="/api-reference/default/client_references-appraisals" />
