id

This is a globally unique UUID that is automatically assigned by JourneyApps to each object.

Fields

All the fields included in the object, including attachments. For the format of all the different field types, see the Field Representation section.

You can optionally embed the related objects directly — refer to Retrieve a Single Object.

Pagination data (see the Counting and Limiting and Skipping section for more details):

Key
Description

count

Also, take a look at the example below.

Example

BASE-URL

The below examples contain a BASE-URL placeholder. Please refer to the HTTP Endpoints section to get the base URL relevant to your deployment.

curl is a command-line tool that allows you to make HTTP requests easily, which is useful for playing around with an API. It usually comes standard on Linux and OS X, and for Windows you can download it here from the official website (choose *Win32*). The -u parameter in the examples below specify the username and password for authentication (refer to the Enabling the API section).

Sample request:

GET BASE-URL/api/v4/533bda53027894f69b001055/objects/task.json
