Operators and functions for the query parameter

Operators

OPERATOR	SAMPLE	DESCRIPTION
=	string_0 = "test"	True if the field code value before this operator and the value after match.
!=	string_0 != "test"	True if the field code value before this operator and the value after don't match.
>	number_0 > 10	True if the field code value before this operator is greater than the value after.
<	number_0 < 10	True if the field code value before this operator is less than the value after.
>=	number_0 >= 10	True if the field code value before this operator is greater than or equal to the value for the field code after the operator.
<=	number_0 <= 10	True if the field code value before this operator is less than or equal to the value for the field code after the operator.
in	dropdown_0 in ("A", "B")	True if the field code value before this operator matches any value inside the brackets after. This operator can be used for identifying records that have fields with selectable strings, such as drop-down fields and radio button fields. On the left sample, the operator is used for identifying records with drop-down fields that have selected “A” or “B”.
not in	dropdown_0 not in ("A", "B")	True if the field code value before this operator doesn't match any value inside the brackets after. This operator can be used for extracting records that have fields with selectable strings, such as drop-down fields and radio button fields. On the left sample the operator is used for extracting records with drop-down fields that have not selected “A” or “B”.
like	Single_line_text_0 like "test"	True if the field code value before this operator contains the value after. If the field is an attachment field, the file name and the contents of the file will be checked instead.
not like	Single_line_text_0 not like "test"	True if the field code value before this operator does not contain the value after.
or	number_0 < 10 or number_0 > 20	True if the equation on either side of the or is true. In the left sample, records are identified if the field code number_0 has a value that is less than 10 or more than 20.
and	number_0 >= 10 and number_0 <= 20	True if the equation on both sides of the and is true. In the left sample, records are extracted if the field code number_0 has a value that is more than 10 and less than 20.

• Field codes are to be placed before the operator, not after it.
• Formulas can be grouped by using "()" brackets, for example: (number_0 >= 10 and number_0 <= 20) or (number_1 >= 100 and number_1 <= 200)

Lookup	Same as the field it is looking up.	Same as the field it is looking up.
Related Records	Same as the field of the datasource app field.	Same as the field of the datasource app field.

• If you include Related record fields, or fields that are included in tables inside the query, you will need to replace "=" and "!=" with "in" and "not in" operators.

How to specify the datasource app field inside of the Related records field

Specify the datasource app field in the following way:

field_code_of_Related_records_field.field_code_of_datasource_app_field

Let's say that the field code of your Related records field is "Company_DB", and you are looking for records where the "company_name" field in the Company_DB is equal to "kintone", and the "location" field in the Company_DB includes the characters "San Francisco".

A sample request is as follows:

Company_DB.company_name in ("kintone") and Company_DB.location like "San Francisco"

Options that can be used with the query parameter

The below options can be used in conjunction.

OPTION	SAMPLE	DESCRIPTION
order by	order by Updated_Datetime asc	The order of the record output is sorted based on the value of the field code after the option. "asc" will sort the records in ascending order, and "desc" will sort the records in descending order.
limit	limit 20	The number of records outputted is determined by the value after this option. The initial number is 100 records, and the maximum is 500.
offset	offset 30	This skips outputting the first number of records. The example on the left skips the first 30 records, and outputs from the 31st record. There is no maximum for this value.

Sample Request using Query Strings

The query string is sent by joining the "app", "query" and "fields" parameters with an "&", and URL encoding each parameter name of the query and their corresponding values.

Let's say that you want to retrieve records that specify the following:

• an app id of "8"
• a query of "updated_datetime > "2012-02-03T09:00:00-0800" and updated_datetime < "2012-02-03T10:00:00-0800" order by recordID asc limit 10 offset 0"
• a field output of fields with field codes of "recordID", "drop_down_field", "updated_datetime"

URL encode the parameter values, and join them together to form a query string.

HTTP Query String
