- Method
- GET

- https://{domain}/networking/rest/user?{query_parameters}
- Sample Search

- (Field names are in the Fields section.)
- 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
- For more examples, see Filter Expressions in REST APIs and the REST API Examples.)
- pageSize - Number of records to retrieve from the result set in order to make a "page".
