Query Parameters
  • query: (string)

    A query expressed as a CQL string (see dev.folio.org/reference/glossary#cql) using valid searchable fields. The first example below shows the general form of a full CQL query, but those fields might not be relevant in this context.

    Example:

    (username=="ab*" or personal.firstName=="ab*" or personal.lastName=="ab*") and active=="true" sortby personal.lastName personal.firstName barcode
    
    group=*grad*
    
  • totalRecords: (string - default: auto - pattern: exact|estimated|none|auto)

    How to calculate the totalRecords property. "exact" for the correct number, "estimated" for an estimation, "auto" to automatically select "exact" or "estimated", "none" for suppressing the totalRecords property. For details see https://github.com/folio-org/raml-module-builder#estimated-totalrecords

    Example:

    none
  • offset: (integer - default: 0 - minimum: 0 - maximum: 2147483647)

    Skip over a number of elements by specifying an offset value for the query

    Example:

    0
  • limit: (integer - default: 10 - minimum: 0 - maximum: 2147483647)

    Limit the number of elements returned in the response

    Example:
