Hi Deleted,

I've been working with the endpoints, but have not looked into modern/SPFx approaches. Thank you for those references.

I am afraid SPFx is going to be burdensome, given all of the prerequisites. This is a publishing site with a custom design via Design Manager. The UI is done, it is the data that I need. It appears that the best I can do is to get a dump of all navigation nodes and parse out the breadcrumbs based on the current page. Or use the native breadcrumb snippet and restructure and style the heck out of it.

All I need is an UL/OL list of breadcrumb links based on the current page. <sigh />
