I personally believe that this tool ( “Database.net of fishcodelib”) will minimize SharePoint developer’s time in dealing with SharePoint 2013 Rest APIs. The alternative would be to accessing the REST API URL along with the filters in the browser. In that case, the result will be displayed as XML.
How are fields specified in the REST API?
Specifies the element of the resource that should be returned from the query. The fields that are available depend upon the method and resource that is the object of the query, and whether the query keyword asks for all fields ( _all_) or the default fields ( _default_ ).
Which is an example of a REST API?
In this section we will give you plenty of REST API examples using MongoDB like query syntax. Database queries are created as valid JSON documents. A query object consists of fields and operators that make up a complete query. Please note that query fields are case sensitive.
When to use REST API for filtering and selecting?
There can be scenarios where you want to perform additional operations on data returned by a REST API like selecting, filtering, sorting and pagination fields only, etc. For such operations while forming the URL to Get data, we have to add some parameters as described below:-
You can also query something like below, where you are trying to find document with specific term By default SP REST API display 10 records. Add row limits to query to include as many result items you desire. You can also follow MSDN documentation to learn more on SP Search.
You can use the Search REST service to submit Keyword Query Language (KQL) or FAST Query Language (FQL) queries in your SharePoint Add-ins, remote client applications, mobile applications, and other applications. The Search REST service supports both HTTP POST and HTTP GET requests.
Where do I find query suggestions in SharePoint?
You can use Search in SharePoint to turn on pre-query and post-query suggestions. These suggestions appear in a list below the Search box as a user types a query. For more information about query suggestions and how to enable them, see Manage query suggestions in SharePoint. Suggest endpoint in the Search REST service.
Using query parameters with the Search REST service When you make a call to the Search REST service, you specify query parameters with the request. Search in SharePoint uses these query parameters to construct the search query. With a GET request, you specify the query parameters in the URL.
