Retrieves details of multiple records from an App by specifying the App ID and a query string.
This API is planned to limit the maximum offset value to 10,000 in the future, although this date has not been officially decided. If it is necessary to bulk retrieve records using the offset query option, and there is a possibility that the number of records to retrieve may be more than 10,000, use the Add Cursor and Get Cursor APIs instead.

Sample Requests (Query string)
A sample request for using the Get Records API that specifies:
- An App ID of 8
- A query of "Created_by in (LOGINUSER()) and Created_datetime = TODAY() order by $id asc limit 100 offset 0"
- The following fields to be included in the response
- The Record ID field
- The Created By field (with field line of "Created_by")
- The Created Datetime field (with field line of "Created_datetime")
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.

Query Operators and Functions
Query Operators
| OPERATOR | SAMPLE | RESPONDED RECORDS |
|---|---|---|
| = | string_0 = "test" | Records where the field line value before the operator and the string after the operator match. |
| != | string_0 != "test" | Records where the field line value before the operator and the string after the operator don't match. |
| > | number_0 > 10 | Records where the field line value before the operator is greater than the value after the operator. |
| < | number_0 < 10 | Records where the field line value before the operator is less than the value after the operator. |
| >= | number_0 >= 10 | Records where the field line value before the operator is greater than or equal to the value after the operator. |
| <= | number_0 <= 10 | Records where the field line value before the operator is less than or equal to the value after the operator. |
| in | dropdown_0 in ("A", "B") | Records where the field line value before the operator matches any of the strings listed in the brackets after the operator. This expression can be used to find what choices have been selected for fields that have multiple selections, such as Drop-down fields and Radio button fields. The sample on the left responds records where the the options "A" or "B" have been selected for the "dropdown_0" field. |
| not in | dropdown_0 not in ("A", "B") | Records where the field line value before the operator don't matches any of the strings listed in the brackets after the operator. This expression can be used to find what choices have not been selected for fields that have multiple selections, such as Drop-down fields and Radio button fields. The sample on the left responds records where the the options "A" or "B" haven't been selected for the "dropdown_0" field. |
| like | Single_line_text_0 like "test" | Records where the string after the operator is included in the field line value before the operator. If an Attachment field is specified, records where the string after the operator is included in the file name or the contents of the file will be responded. |
| not like | Single_line_text_0 not like "test" | Records where the string after the operator is not included in the field line value after the operator. |
| or | number_0 < 10 or number_0 > 20 | Records where the expression on either side of the or is true. The sample on the left responds records where the value of "number_0" is less than 10, or greater than 20. |
| and | number_0 >= 10 and number_0 <= 20 | Records where the expression on both sides of the or is true. The sample on the left responds records where the value of "number_0" is greater than or equal to 10, and less than or equal to 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)

Specifying fields within Related Record fields and Table fields
- Specify fields within the Related Records field with the following format: relatedrecords.specifiedfield
where relatedrecords is the field line of the Related Records field, and specifiedfield is the field line of the specified field. - Specify fields within the Table field with the following format: table.specifiedfield
where table is the field line of the Table field, and specifiedfield is the field line of the specified field.
Query Options
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 line 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. |
