List custom object records

$ lightfield object list
GET/v1/objects/{entitySlug}

Returns a paginated list of records for the specified custom object type. Results are sorted by when the record was created in Lightfield (createdAt), newest first. Each page holds only the records you can currently read, so a page can contain fewer records than limit, or none, while more remain, and totalCount can include records you can no longer read. To read every record, keep advancing offset by limit until it reaches totalCount; do not stop at a short or empty page. Use offset and limit to paginate through results, and $field query parameters to filter. See List endpoints for more information about pagination and filtering.

ParametersExpand Collapse
--entity-slug: string

The slug of the custom object type.

--limit: optional number

Maximum number of records to return. Defaults to 25, maximum 25.

--offset: optional number

Number of records to skip for pagination. Defaults to 0.

id: string

Unique identifier for the entity.

createdAt: string

ISO 8601 timestamp of when the entity was created.

fields: map[object { value, valueType } ]

Map of field names to their typed values. System fields are prefixed with $ (e.g. $name, $email); custom attributes use their bare slug.

value: string or number or boolean or 3 more

The field value, or null if unset.

union_member_0: string
union_member_1: number
union_member_2: boolean
union_member_3: array of string

"MULTI_SELECT"
"NUMBER"
"SINGLE_SELECT"
"SOCIAL_HANDLE"

relationships: map[object { cardinality, objectType, values, directions } ]

Map of relationship names to their associated entities. System relationships are prefixed with $ (e.g. $owner, $contact). A self-referential relationship keeps its merged values and includes optional directional values. List filters select the current record’s role with :asSource or :asDestination, for example ?parent:asSource[contains]=account_id.

cardinality: string

Whether the relationship is has_one or has_many.

objectType: string

The type of the related object (e.g. account, contact).

values: array of string

IDs of the related entities.

directions: optional object { asDestination, asSource }

Directional values for a self-referential relationship. List filters use the relationship key with :asSource or :asDestination; writes continue to use the bare key.

asDestination: object { cardinality, values }

The current record is the destination (incoming) endpoint.

cardinality: "HAS_ONE" or "HAS_MANY"

Whether this endpoint direction is HAS_ONE or HAS_MANY.

"HAS_ONE"
"HAS_MANY"
values: array of string

IDs of the related entities in this direction.

asSource: object { cardinality, values }

The current record is the source (outgoing) endpoint.

cardinality: "HAS_ONE" or "HAS_MANY"

Whether this endpoint direction is HAS_ONE or HAS_MANY.

"HAS_ONE"
"HAS_MANY"
values: array of string

IDs of the related entities in this direction.

updatedAt: string

ISO 8601 timestamp of when the entity was last updated, or null.

externalId: optional string

External identifier for the entity, or null if unset.

object: string

The object type, always "list".

totalCount: number
