Listing documents

To list documents, make a GET request to /api/resource/{doctype}.

GET /api/resource/Person

All listings are returned paginated by 20 items. To change the page size, you can pass the query parameter limit_page_length. To request succesive pages, pass limit_start.

The response is returned as JSON Object and the listing is an array in with the key data.

Response:

{
   "data": [
      {
         "name": "000000012"
      },
      {
         "name": "000000008"
      }
   ]
}

By default, only the name field is included in the listing. To add more fields, you can pass the fields parameter with your GET request. fields has to be a JSON array containing the fieldnames.

GET /api/resource/Person/?fields=["name","first_name"]

Response:

{
   "data": [
      {
         "first_name": "Jane",
         "name": "000000012"
      },
      {
         "first_name": "John",
         "name": "000000008"
      }
   ]
}

You can filter the listing using SQL-conditions by passing the query parameter filters. filters has to be a JSON array containing one or multiple filters. Each condition is an array of the format, [{doctype}, {field}, {operator}, {operand}].

For example, get the name (id) of all persons with firstname "Jane":

GET /api/resource/Person?filters=[["Person","first_name","=","Jane"]]

Response:

 { "data": [ { "name": "000000012" } ] }
