Utilize this method to execute a query designed to fetch comprehensive information, delivering all results in a singular response. If necessary, the method returns a portion of the results along with an identifier to retrieve the remaining data.
Leverage the search service to extract the requisite information from the system effectively.
The method returns a list structured with an extended GroupExternal
representation. In this format, all foreign key fields are depicted as abstract object structures, employing AbstractText
or AbstractLong
data types. This offers an enriched and detailed perspective of the data and its associated entities.
The foreign key fields involved are: Created_By
Example
It searches for employees whose data has been modified since January 1, 2022, and belong to departments with external system identifiers DE001 and DE002. The system responds by returning the name, external identifier, and email address of the relevant employees. The retrieved information is organized in ascending order by the person's name, and a limit is set to return a maximum of 1000 rows.
fields=Name,ExternalId,Email&Filters=(DepartmentId.ExternalId In DE001;DE002) AND (ModifiedOn > 2022-01-01)&Orders=Name ASC&PageSize=1000
oAuth autentication flow
Specify the fields you want to retrieve in the fields parameter and use the GET method of the resource.
The list of database column attributes. If list is empty or "*" then all of fields will be returned.
This method converts a string list to a string with a comma separator.
Example:
Id, Name, Description, Created_By, Created, Has_Custom_Management
In the List methods, filtering of resources can be performed using filter parameters.
You can also use parent tables as a search filter. For example, the Employee
table has a DepartmentId
field, so you can search for a department name using the DepartmentId.Name
field name. All fields in the parent table are available.
The name of the entity field. Example: Name
or relation field OwnerId.Name
Please refer to the corresponding method's documentation for the complete list of supported filter parameters by record.
The operator must be a standard comparison operator =, <>, >, >=, <, <=, In, Like, NotIn
You can add multiple values separated by comma when using the In
, NotIn
operators. Example of text field; USA; FIN; ARE
Example of numeric field; 1, 2, 3
Example of filters:
Filters=(DepartmentId.Name = My Department) AND (DepartmentId.CreatedOn = 2021-01-01)
Filters=(DepartmentId.Name = My Department 1) OR (DepartmentId.ExternalId In DE001;DE002)
Filters=ExternalId In S100;S101;S120;100
Filters=Id = 100
The Orders
parameter is provided for sorting the result in the desired order. Both the attribute based on which sorting needs to be done, and the order of sorting (ascending or descending) can be specified. This method converts a string list to a string with a comma separator.
Example:
Name DESC, CreatedOn ASC
This field specifies the current page of results being returned. It's often used in conjunction with PageSize
to manage pagination by indicating which subset of the total data is currently being retrieved.
The field indicates the number of items returned in a single page or response. It helps clients determine how many items to display per page and how to request additional pages if needed.
The value ranges from 1
to 1000
and defaults to 50
.
The list of GroupExternals
The list of GroupExternal
records
The object provides metadata about the list of items returned in the API response. It typically includes information that helps clients understand and work with the data.
This field represents the total number of items available in the entire dataset, not just the items returned in the current response. It's useful for implementing pagination, as clients can use it to calculate the number of pages or total available items.

The type of the record
The list of GroupExternal records
The record of GroupExternal information.
This structure represents an abstract object with a primary key of type Long. It is used to encapsulate detailed information about related entities.
The primary key of the record. It uniquely identifies each record within the dataset. This attribute is required and must be unique across all records.
An external identifier for the record, which can be used to link the record to external systems or datasets. This attribute is optional but should be unique if provided.
The name of the record. This attribute provides a human-readable identifier for the record, making it easier to recognize and differentiate records in lists or other displays. This attribute is optional.
The type of the record object. This attribute is used to classify the record into specific categories or types, helping to organize and manage different kinds of records. This attribute is optional.
