request described in “Syntax for Geing a Template Request for a Catalog Item,” on page 41, locate a link
eld that contains a value similar to the following:
{
"@type":"link",
"href":"https://$host/catalog-
service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/dc808d12-3786-4f7c-b5a1-d5f997c8ad66/requests",

curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json"

https://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/dc808d12-3786-4f7c-b5a1-
