The main advantage in this version (v60) is the ability to let users define the response. By only requesting key information, you can more efficiently use resources instead of retrieving a full API feed, and parsing out unused fields.
This approach can be used with any resource that doesn't specify an ID, such as a list of elements or users.
The documentation is broken down into resource categories and you can see formatted code samples for various languages in the console on the right.
General Notes:
Most list based requests will return a maximum of 100 objects per request (Users, Assignments, Pages, Localizations, etc...) where as records and options will return up to 1000.
Default response will be returned when invalid grammar is passed into the request.
Field grammar can include filters (single or multiple conditions) and sort order.
Using Parameters
Parameters will allow you to refined the request and consist of the following:
fields: Allow you to specify which attributes are returned. Filter and sort priority can be assigned to each field.
limit: Allow you to specify how many results are returned.
offset: Allow you to specify number of results to skip.
For example, this url would only provide the record ids.

This example demonstrates returning first name, last name, age, and state. This will also skip the first record only display 2 after that.

You can also specify which subform fields you want. In this example, we will have a subform called 'children_subform' with some fields in it.
https://www.iformbuilder.com/exzact/api/v60/profiles/10978/pages/290749032/records?fields=first_name,last_name,residing_state,age,children_subform[child_name,child_age,child_height]&offset=1&limit=2
Sorting Fields:
To sort by column(s), there are three components:
Column: The field you want to sort by
Operator: These consist of < (ascending) and > (descending)
Sort Priority: When sorting by multiple columns, you set priority by designating a number after the operator.
In this example, age has first priority in ascending order followed by first name in descending order.
https://www.iformbuilder.com/exzact/api/v60/profiles/10978/pages/290749032/records?fields=first_name:>2,age:<1
Filtering Fields:
Adding filters will narrow down your request output or input. This can be used with both GET and PUT requests.
GET: Will return any data that meets your filter’s rules.
PUT: Instead of updating a specific record, update many records that match the filter. For example, changing everyone who is now over 18 from child to an adult.
Three Components of Filtering
Column: The field you want to filter
Operator: These consist of <, <=, >, >=, = and ~
Value:The value you are basing your filter on. Boolean values can be passed in either as true and false, or 0 and 1.
Examples
Get everyone who is between 18 AND 65 (Note: the '&' symbol may need to be url encoded which is '%26')
age((>="18")&(<="65"))
or encodedage((>="18")%26(<="65"))
Get everyone that is younger than 18 OR older than 65
age((>="18")|(<="65"))
Get all first names that start with 'K'
first_name(~"K%")
Get all last names that end with 'son'
last_name(~"%son")
Get all middle names that contain 'mit'
middle_name(~"%mit%")
Now combining 4 examples above in a URL.
https://www.iformbuilder.com/exzact/api/v60/profiles/10978/pages/290749032/records?fields=age((>="18")|(<="65")),first_name(~"K%"),last_name(~"%son"),middle_name(~"%mit%")
Note: If trying to filter a field that is like a certain value that starts with a number, you have url encode the '%' symbol, otherwise the api will fail. If you wanted to search for a value that starts with 12 for exmaple:
https://www.iformbuilder.com/exzact/api/v60/profiles/10978/pages/290749032/records?fields=length(~"%2512")
Filter Multiple Fields with
To search a value inside multiple fields, you can use dashes to search multiple columns of the same value.
Note: When filtering with multiple fields, this needs to be at the beginning of the search criteria. Also, exact value searches will not work. For example,
Get all first names OR last names that start with 'K'
first_name-last_name(~"K%")
Searching Multiple Specific Values
This will allow you to pass in multiple specifc values you want the query to return. Form example,
Get both records for ids 12345 AND 98765
id(="12345"|="98765")
