Search Relation Events with Cursor

The Search Relation Events with Cursor function returns the records matching the specified criteria with a strictly defined order.

This function works like a cursor in relational databases. When using this function, some character sequences are returned to the API user as a part of the response and all the subsequent requests with this cursor, then returns the next portion of data in the defined order. Note that no data is repeated in the entire dataset that is returned.

Request:

POST {TenantURL}/relations/_events/_scan
Table 1. Parameters
Parameter Required Details Example
Headers Authorization Yes Information about authentication access token in the format of "Bearer <accessToken>" (see details in Authentication API ).
Query filter No Enables events filtering by a condition. Format for the filter query parameter is, filter=({Condition Type}[AND/OR {Condition Type}]*)

To know more about the conditions, see Relations Filtering.

    • eventType
  • The eventType field can have the following values:
    • RELATIONSHIP_CREATED
    • RELATIONSHIP_CHANGED
    • RELATIONSHIP_REMOVED
Consider the following examples:
  • Filter by relation_uri: filter=(equals(relation_uri, 'relations/005ZBhp')
  • Filter by relationType: filter=(equals(relation_type, 'HasAddress')
  • Filter by event timestamp: filter=(gt(timestamp, 1373288685810) and lt(timestamp,1373288903390))
Query types No Indicates a comma-separated list of event types using which events must be filtered. types=CREATED,UPDATED
Query offset No Positive Integer value to identify starting what element in a result set must be returned in a response. offset=100
Query max No Indicates the maximum number of events to be retrieved. max=200
Request body Cursor definition Yes for all requests except the first one. Indicates the JSON object that defines the cursor value and must have one JSON attribute cursor with the sub-JSON structure having one string attribute value.
