REST API:Dynamic Search

Query Parameters

• fieldList - A comma-separated list of field names to retrieve

{{#ifeq: REST API:Dynamic Search | REST API:composite record Resource |

• The asterisk (*) wildcard specifies all fields in the primary record
• {fieldname} specifies a field in the main record (e.g. name)
• {alias}.* specifies all fields in a related record
• {alias}.{fieldname} specifies a field in a related record (e.g. tag.id)

• The asterisk (*) wildcard specifies all fields
• Use the REST API:field Resource to get a complete list of fields
• Field lists for database views need to specify the object's alias, as well as the field name.

• 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".
• 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> 
   ...
   <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)

This segment has two formats: One for normal searches, and another for searching Composite Objects. It generally isn't possible to embed templates and conditionals, so this page duplicates the format of Template:Query Parameters.
