Also:

  1. Add an entry to the categorized REST API page
  2. Add an entry to the alpha index
  3. Add entries to the REST API CheatSheet

List/Get All __resourceName__ (Record)s

("Get" if complete records are returned. "List" if partial data is returned, requiring a second read to get a complete set of data. This comes before the GET, because typically it's called first to get the ID used in a specific-record GET.)

Method
GET
URI

Use this URI to get a list of all __resourceName__ records, including all fields for each record:

https://{domain}/networking/rest/__resourceName__?fieldList=*

To restrict the records returned or the fields returned, see the section that explains how to do a Dynamic Search for __resourceName__ Records

--OR--

URI
https://{domain}/networking/rest/__resourceName__
Return all fields
URI
https://{domain}/networking/rest/__resourceName__?{query_parameters}
Query Parameters
Introductory sentence, if any
  • parameter1 - Description
  • parameter2
  • If TRUE, ...
  • If FALSE, ...

Dynamic Search for __resourceName__ Records

Method
GET
URI
https://{domain}/networking/rest/__resourceName__?{query_parameters}
Query Parameters
  • fieldList - A comma-separated list of field names to retrieve
  • The asterisk (*) wildcard specifies all fields
  • {fieldname} specifies an individual field (e.g. name)
(Use the REST API:field Resource to get a complete list of fields.)
  • For a Composite Object, specify {alias}.{fieldname} to select a related-record field, where the alias is defined in the Object Relationships.
  • For a Database View, specify {alias}.{fieldname}, where the object alias is defined in the Database View.
  • alias.* specifies all fields in the aliased object.
  • filter - Filtering criteria to filter the records
  • pageSize - Number of records to retrieve from the result set in order to make a "page".
  • page - Number of the logical page in a database result set. The first page is page "zero" (0).
Page zero is returned by default, so appending &pageSize=1 to your query returns a single record.
  • getTotalRecordCount returns the number of total records.
    Causes the following structure to be returned, where N is the total number of records:
<platform> 
   <status>
   <packageDeploy>
   ...
   </packageDeploy>
   </status>
   <message>
      <code>0</code>
      <description>Success</description>
   </message>

   <!-- added by the query param -->
   <totalRecordCount>N</totalRecordCount> 
</platform>
  • sortBy - Field name for primary sort
    Ex: &sortBy=name
  • sortOrder - Sort order of the primary field, either asc or desc (ascending or descending)
    Ex: &sortOrder=desc
  • sortBy2 - Field name for secondary sort
  • sortOrder2 - Sort order of the second field, either asc or desc (ascending or descending)
For more information, see: Specifying Query Parameters in REST APIs
Response
<platform>
   <__resourceName__>
    ...
   </__resourceName__>
    ...
   <message>
      <code>0</code>  <!- The number of records returned -->
      <description>Success</description>
   </message>
