Get Records from Collection

Retrieves records from a collection. The operation can optionally return the record IDs which can be used in certain queries such as Delete Records.

This operation supports paging through the data via the input parameter offset and input parameter limit parameters.

Note that when using the Java API, it is not possible to retrieve records from join tables using this operation.

Input Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
table_name	string	Name of the collection or table from which records are to be retrieved. Must be an existing collection or table.
offset	long	A positive integer indicating the number of initial results to skip (this can be useful for paging through the results). The default value is 0.The minimum allowed value is 0. The maximum allowed value is MAX_INT.
limit	long	A positive integer indicating the maximum number of results to be returned, or END_OF_SET (-9999) to indicate that the max number of results should be returned. The number of records returned will never exceed the server's own limit, defined by the max_get_records_size parameter in the server configuration. Use input parameter offset & input parameter limit to request subsequent pages of results. The default value is -9999.
encoding	string	Specifies the encoding for returned records; either 'binary' or 'json'. The default value is binary. The supported values are: binary json
options	map of string to strings	The default value is an empty map ( {} ). Supported Parameters (keys) Parameter Description return_record_ids If 'true' then return the internal record ID along with each returned record. Default is 'false'. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false

Output Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
table_name	string	Value of input parameter table_name.
type_names	array of strings	The type IDs of the corresponding records in output parameter records_binary or output parameter records_json. This is useful when input parameter table_name is a heterogeneous collection (collections containing tables of different types).
records_binary	array of bytes	If the encoding parameter of the request was 'binary' then this list contains the binary encoded records retrieved from the table/collection. Otherwise, empty list.
records_json	array of strings	If the encoding parameter of the request was 'json', then this list contains the JSON encoded records retrieved from the table/collection. Otherwise, empty list.
record_ids	array of strings	If the 'return_record_ids' option of the request was 'true', then this list contains the internal ID for each object. Otherwise it will be empty.
info	map of string to strings	Additional information. The default value is an empty map ( {} ). Possible Parameters (keys) Parameter Description total_number_of_records Total number of records. has_more_records Too many records. Returned a partial set. Possible values are: true false
