Entities can be queried using various filters (see Supported entity filters). You can use queries to find entities that match certain criteria. Queries behave differently depending on whether you are using the /entities endpoint or the /resolvedEntities endpoint. For most use cases, /resolvedEntities is more likely to match your expectations. All queries include the following parameters:
|
Parameter |
Data Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
orderBy |
String |
Sorts the query results by a property name and direction. See OrderBy below. |
|
count |
Int32 |
The maximum number of entities to return per page of results. The default value is 100, and the maximum is 1000. |
|
continuationToken |
String |
Token to retrieve the next page of query results while maintaining the original query parameters. Tokens can be found at the end of a page of query results. If there is no token, that marks the last page of query results. |
OrderBy
The OrderBy parameter supports sorting by one of the queried properties in either ascending or descending order. The OrderBy property must be one of the properties included in the filters. If you do not specify ascending or descending, the results will be sorted in ascending order.
