Queries

Sample API Calls

The following sections walk through calls you can make using the /queries endpoint in the Query Service API. Each call includes the general API format, a sample request showing required headers, and a sample response.

Retrieve a list of queries

You can retrieve a list of all queries for your IMS Organization by making a GET request to the /queries endpoint.

API format

GET /queries
GET /queries?{QUERY_PARAMETERS}
  • {QUERY_PARAMETERS}: (Optional) Parameters added to the request path which configure the results returned in the response. Multiple parameters can be included, separated by ampersands (&). The available parameters are listed below.

Query parameters

The following is a list of available query parameters for listing queries. All of these parameters are optional. Making a call to this endpoint with no parameters will retrieve all queries available for your organization.

Parameter Description
orderby Specifies the field by which to order results. The supported fields are created and updated. For example, orderby=created will sort results by created in ascending order. Adding a - before created (orderby=-created) will sort items by created in descending order.
limit Specifies the page size limit to control the number of results that are included in a page. (Default value: 20)
start Offsets the response list, using zero-based numbering. For example, start=2 will return a list starting from the third listed query. (Default value: 0)
property Filter results based on fields. The filters must be HTML escaped. Commas are used to combine multiple sets of filters. The supported fields are created, updated, state, and id. The list of supported operators are > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equal to), <= (less than or equal to), == (equal to), != (not equal to), and ~ (contains). For example, id==6ebd9c2d-494d-425a-aa91-24033f3abeec will return all queries with the specified ID.
excludeSoftDeleted Indicates whether a query which has been soft deleted should be included. For example, excludeSoftDeleted=false will include soft deleted queries. (Boolean, default value: true)
excludeHidden Indicates whether non-user driven queries should be displayed. Having this value set to false will include non-user driven queries, such as CURSOR definitions, FETCH, or metadata queries. (Boolean, default value: true)
