        "attributes": {
            "name": "EXAMPLE PAGE",      (2)
            "short_name": "Example Page"
        },
        "published": null,
        "metadata_schemas": [],
        "metadata_values": null,
        "external_id": ""
    },
    "parent": {
        "asset_id": "1",                (3)
        "link_type": "menu",
