Lists the records in a Tulip Table, optionally filtered by the query parameters.
Requires the tables:read
API key scope.
Access to the Tulip API requires the use of HTTP Basic Authentication using the credentials of an active Tulip API Token. All requests require the Authorization
HTTP header with the Basic
scheme to provide API credentials unless otherwise noted.
API tokens can be configured with a set of scopes which determine what parts of the API that specific token has access to. Security best practices dictate that API credentials be given the minimum set of capabilities required to fulfill their intended purpose. For example, an API token created for use in an integration that is only designed to use the Tables API should probably only be given the tables:read
and tables:write
scopes. In this way you can minimize risk in the event that API credentials are compromised. API endpoints will document what API token scopes are required to access that endpoint in their descriptions. If a request is made to an endpoint with an API token which does not have the required scopes, the response will be an authorization error.
The format that Tulip should use in the response when formatting Tulip numbers. If omitted or set to
float
, Tulip will format numbers as JSON numbers. If set to decimal
, Tulip will format numbers as strings
representing the decimal representation of the number, like "1.20"
. Tulip will only output trailing zeros
when using decimal
formatting.
Filtering
Tulip interprets JSON numbers as floating-point values, which may result in edge cases when this header's value
is decimal
. If you set this header to decimal
, we recommend passing values for Tulip number fields as strings.
Specifically, if this header is set to decimal
and filters
specifies a Tulip number field, that filter's arg
will be interpreted as a decimal value. If it's passed in as a string, it must be of format "[-]xx[.yyy]"
. If it's
passed in as a JSON number, it will be parsed as a JavaScript number, and then converted to a decimal string. This
may result in loss of precision, since JavaScript numbers have limited precision (roughly 15-17 digits).
For example, the number 2.0000000000000002
cannot be expressed as a JavaScript number, so it will be parsed as
2
. This means that if you are trying to look up a value with
{... "functionType", "equal", "arg", 2.0000000000000002}
, Tulip will not find that value (since it will instead
look for values that equal 2
). To specify filters for such numbers when this header is decimal
, we recommend you
pass them in as strings, like "2.0000000000000002"
.
Sorting
If this header is set to decimal
and sortOptions
specifies a Tulip number field, that field will be ordered
by value (as normal) and then by number of trailing zeros, with fewer zeros sorting earlier. For example, 1.2
will sort before 1.20
. If the header is unset or set to float
, trailing zeros will not be taken into
consideration when sorting. This discrepancy in the handling of trailing zeros can result in inconsistent ordering
if sortOptions
specifies multiple fields. For example, with records:
Id | myNumber |
---|---|
A | 1.20 |
B | 1.2 |
Sorting by myNumber, Id
with this header set to decimal
will result in:
[
{"myNumber": "1.2", "Id": "B"},
{"myNumber": "1.20", "Id": "A"}
]
... because "1.20"
sorts before "1.2"
. On the other hand, without this header, the result will be:
[
{"myNumber": 1.2, "Id": "A"},
{"myNumber": 1.2, "Id": "B"}
]
... because the numbers are tied, so the secondary sorting on Id
factors in.
Note that this header only affects Tulip numbers. Other types, including Tulip integers, are unaffected.
The id of a Tulip Table.
A limit for how many records should be returned in the response. At most this many records will be returned. To determine if there are more records beyond those included in the response, use the includeTotalCount
query parameter. Defaults to 10 records and cannot be more than 100 records.
The index of the record to start at. The exact order of returned records depends on the sortBy
and sortDir
parameters. This parameter is usually used for pagination.
If this flag is set, the total number of records in the Table which match the filters is returned in the X-Total-Count
header in the response. Determining this count requires an extra (potentially expensive) database query, so clients should omit this flag if the total count is not needed.
An optional array of filter expressions to filter the Table records by. Each filter is an object specifying the field
(name of a table column), functionType
(comparison function), and arg
(the value to compare to).
The field may be the name of a table column (including id
) or one of these special values:
_createdAt
_updatedAt
The valid function types are:
equal
notEqual
blank
notBlank
greaterThanOrEqual
lessThanOrEqual
greaterThan
lessThan
contains
notContains
startsWith
notStartsWith
endsWith
notEndsWith
isIn
notIsIn
Note: The isIn
and notIsIn
functions take in array inputs. To pass an array input into a connector function you must convert the array to a string of this format: ["1", "2", "3"]. Also, the blank
and notBlank
functions do not take in any arguments at all.
Example: [{"field": "field1", "functionType": "equal", "arg": "1"},{"field": "field2", "functionType": "notBlank"}, {"field": "field3", "functionType": "isIn", "arg": ["1", "2", "3"]}]
Specifiying fields allows to reduce the amount of data returned in the result to just the data for each of the fields specified. If ommitted, all fields for a given record will be returned. A field value that is not one of the table's fields will generate a 422 error.
Example: ["ipwkk_weight", "cyveu_completed", "id", "_updatedAt", "bDabBK8jmxZqWY8iT_link_left_column"]
How the filters in the filters
parameter are combined.
all
means that every filter must match a record in order for the record to be included.any
means at least one filter must match a record in order for the record to be included.
Sorting allows to define which records are considered if there are more than the specified limit. Sort priority is determined by the order or options, i.e. sort by the first option, them by the second, etc. If ommitted, there is no guarantee as to which records are selected. A sortBy value that is not one of the table's field will generate a 422 error. Options for sortDir are "asc" and "desc".
Example: [{"sortBy": "superAwesomeField", "sortDir": "asc"}, {"sortBy": "lessAwesomeField", "sortDir": "desc"}]
Sorts are used to order the queries based on columns defined in the Tulip Table where the query exists.
The field that records should be sorted by in the response. Can be the name of any of the columns of the Table (including id
) or one of these special values:
_sequenceNumber
_createdAt
_updatedAt
The direction of the records, either acsending or descending
The list of Tulip Table records was retrieved successfully.
A single record stored in a Tulip Table. The record object will include the names and values of all columns of the Table that are not hidden, in addition to the record's sequence number, created timestamp, and last updated timestamp.
A monotonically increasing unique identifier for this record.
The request was malformed. This could mean that headers, query parameters, or the request body was unable to be parsed or had unexpected values.
The request was made unauthorized. HTTP Basic Authorization using a Tulip API Key is required for use of the API.
The provided authentication info was rejected. The response will provide additional details.
The requested database entry was not found.
The request was syntactically sound, but could not be processed due to a logical problem.
The server encountered an unexpected error.
