Request 
Request Body schema: application/json
object
string
Object type to query, in the form <application-name>/<object name>. For custom objects use platform-apps/nsp::<object-name>.


 
 Example:  "purchasing/txn-definition"
fields
Array of strings
List of fields to include in the response. Can be any combination of these:


    

  • The name of a field in the object that you are querying, such as id.
    

    • 

  • The name of a field in a related object, using the form relatedObjectName.fieldName, such as vendor.id.
    

    • 

  • The result of an aggregate function run against the values in the returned objects. Use the form function:fieldName, such as min:startDate to return the earliest starting date. Valid function names are:
    

      

    • count
      • 

    • avg
      • 

    • sum
      • 

    • min
      • 

    • max
      • 

    

    • 

  • The result of an aggregate function run against the values in related objects, using the form function:relatedObjectName.fieldName, such as max:vendor.creditLimit. The same functions are supported as for object fields.
    

    • 



 
 Example:  ["key","id","max:vendor.creditLimit"]
Array of equal (object) or not equal (object) or less than (object) or (less than or equal (object)) or greater than (object) or (greater than or equal (object)) or in (object) or not in (object) or between (object) or not between (object) or contains (object) or does not contain (object) or starts with (object) or does not start with (object) or ends with (object) or does not end with (object)
Filter conditions to select the objects to return based on their field values. You use operators and conditions to build your filter, such as {"$eq":{"status":"active"}} to select objects in which status is equal to "active".


 
 Example:  [{"$eq":{"status":"active"}},{"$gt":{"totalDue":"1000"}},{"$contains":{"name":"Acme"}}]
 Array 
Any of:
Field value must be equal to this specified value.


For date fields, you can use these macro values that are relative to the current date or the asOfDate in filterParameters, if set:







    

  • today

  • currentWeek

  • currentMonth

  • currentQuarter

  • currentYear





    

  • yesterday

  • lastWeek

  • priorMonth

  • priorQuarter

  • priorYear









These are most useful for queries that you want to save and use repeatedly, such as for views or reports. Just change the asOfDate each time to retrieve the same data set for different time periods.


For example, {"eq":{"postingDate":"priorYear"}}.


object
The field name and value to be compared with object values.


 
 Example:  {"status":"active"}
filterExpression
string
