Identity Manager 9.2 - REST API Reference Guide

Disabling WHERE clauses for the REST API of the Application Server

You have the option to disable the WHERE clauses or even predefined WHERE clauses through the Web.config file.

Settings for WHERE clauses and predefined WHERE clauses in the Web.config file

<restapi>

...

<!-- Plain WHERE clauses as parameters are forbidden -->

<!--<add key="nowhereclause" value="true" />-->

<!-- Using predefined WHERE clauses as parameter is forbidden -->

<!--<add key="nolimitedsql" value="true" />-->

</restapi>

Collections

To get a list of entities, you have the option to use a GET or POST request against the REST API. Both methods support to query by example. Simply provide the columns to query in the form Name=Value in the URL.

Detailed information about this topic

Get collection using GET method

To get a list of entities using the GET method, use the URL <baseURL>/api/entities/{table}.

Query parameters to be used in WHERE clauses and predefined WHERE clauses can be provided in the form @paramname=value. Per default they have the type string. Additionally, it is possible to pass the type with the name: @otherParam[int]=3. Types originate from DbVal class.

Parameter

Description

Parameter type

Data type

ORDER BY clause.

string

query

loadType

Collection load type. Specify one of the values:

  • Default: Loads read-only entities according to the supplied query. Loaded columns include the primary key, display columns according to the display pattern, some special columns, and the columns defined in the select clause of the query. The entries are sorted by the defined display or the optional orderBy clause of the query. This load type is the default and be omitted.

  • Slim: Works mostly like Default but does not load display columns and does not build an orderBy clause per default. This type is useful when loading data not intended for display and can save much time by using database indexes.

  • BulkReadOnly: Loads read-only entities with all columns filled. The columns defined in the query are overridden.

  • ForeignDisplays: Loads display values for foreign keys contained in the display pattern. This allows showing displays instead of UIDs for foreign keys.

  • ForeignDisplaysForAllColumns: Like ForeignDisplays, but loads displays for all foreign keys contained in the select clauses of the query, not only columns referenced in the display pattern.

query

string

noUrls

Allow to omit the URI property from the response to reduce the response size especially if used while retrieving large M:N tables like PersonHasObject.

query

boolean

Response schema:

CollectionEntry {

uri(string),

display(string, optional),

longDisplay(string, optional),

values(SampleValues, optional)

}

SampleValues {

StringColumn(string, optional),

IntColumn(integer, optional),

DateColumn(date - time, optional),

BoolColumn (boolean, optional)

}

Example 1:

This sample demonstrates the use of the query by example parameters.

https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entities/Person?lastname=adams&limit=2

Response:

[{

"uri": "https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entity/Person/7f6bcca9-05dc-4857-9dc5-eff915590752",

"display": "Adams, Alexander (ALEXANDERA)",

"longDisplay": "Adams, Alexander (ALEXANDERA)",

"values": {

"CentralAccount": "ALEXANDERA",

"InternalName": "Adams, Alexander",

"UID_Person": "7f6bcca9-05dc-4857-9dc5-eff915590752",

"XMarkedForDeletion": 0

}},

{

"uri": "https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entity/Person/f79c30fd-87bb-4958-a812-0683ddcac7c9",

"display": "Adams, David (DAVIDA)",

"longDisplay": "Adams, David (DAVIDA)",

"values": {

"CentralAccount": "DAVIDA",

"InternalName": "Adams, David",

"UID_Person": "f79c30fd-87bb-4958-a812-0683ddcac7c9",

"XMarkedForDeletion": 0

}

}]

Example 2:

This sample demonstrates the use of the loadType=Slim.

https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entities/Person?lastname=adams&limit=2&loadType=Slim

Response:

[{

"uri": "https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entity/Person/18e51519-f751-4df6-8f39-24ed065c80a9",

"values": {

"UID_Person": "18e51519-f751-4df6-8f39-24ed065c80a9"

}},

{

"uri": "https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entity/Person/26822a10-32bb-4268-ac59-36188301b768",

"values": {

"UID_Person": "26822a10-32bb-4268-ac59-36188301b768"

}

}]

Example 3:

This sample demonstrates the use of the parameter noUrls=true while using the same parameters as in example 2.

https://<Hostname>/AppServer/api/entities/Person?lastname=adams&limit=2&loadType=Slim&noUrls=true

Response:

[{

"values": {

"UID_Person": "18e51519-f751-4df6-8f39-24ed065c80a9"

}},

{

"values": {

"UID_Person": "26822a10-32bb-4268-ac59-36188301b768" }

}]
