Dynamic Search

Search for Role records, specifying the fields to retrieve, number of records, offset, sort column, sort order, criteria

Method

GET

URI

https://{yourDomain}/networking/rest/role?{query_parameters}

Sample Search

?fieldList=name,id&filter=name contains 'smith' & sortby='id'

(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".
• 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:

  <totalRecordCount>N</totalRecordCount> 

</platform> </syntaxhighlight>

• 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)
