Update record

Parameters

rest_api_key

your API key

APP_ID

values

Record values hash, where key is form field id.

json_values

If you using jQuery, Ruby or another programming language then, please, use 'values' parameter to send encoding parameters. However, if your framework doesn't allow this you can send record values as JSON string, but in this case specify your parameter name as 'json_values'. And your JSON values string will looks like this: "{"aNW4nkW5bdUjldO8oKuSku":"2", "aMW4HKWR9bnOoGWQbpWQS4":"aaa"}"

subforms_values / subforms_json_values

To create or update subforms, in the same way, use 'subforms_values' or 'json_subforms_values'.
With a format below:
"{property1_id: {entity_id: subform1_id, subform1_record1_id: {subform1_field1_id: "2", subform1_field2_id: "aaa"}, subform1_record2_id: {subform1_field1_id: "3", subform1_field2_id: "bb"}}, property2_id: {entity_id: subform2_id, subform2_record1_id: {subform2_field1_id: "4", subform2_field2_id: "bb"}, subform2_record2_id: {subform2_field1_id: "5", subform2_field2_id: "dd"}}}" .

Where property1_id and property2_id - this is Fields ID's with a Subform type in the main table.
subform1_id, subform2_id - Forms ID's, which was set in property1_id and property2_id settings.
subform1_record1_id и subform1_record2_id - this is new or existent subform records ID's.
subform1_field1_id, subform1_field2_id - fields ID's in the form subform1_id.
subform2_field1_id, subform2_field2_id - fields ID's in the form subform2_id.

All ID's - it's a 22 characters URL-save base64 code, you can get them from other API calls or create for new subform records.

Parameters

rest_api_key

your API key

APP_ID

ENTITY_ID

If you need to use your personal ID, you can generate UUID (unique identifier) < / a> 22 characters long URL-safe base64 For example in Ruby . Next you will need to pass it to the 'values' hash, for example: values => {' id '=> ID}, change to: values => {' id '=>' 22adadVXHdHie1WeGFE8k2 '}, otherwise the system will generate a unique identifier for you.

view

You have to know your report id in order to fetch records. (Optional)

search

Would you like a flick on the table? "SEARCH_TERM", "o" => "SEARCH_CRITERIA"}]].
PROPERTY_ID - field identifier by which we are searching ( -ALL - - to search all columns),
SEARCH_TERM - the value we are looking for,
SEARCH_CRITERIA - criterion for a message, maybe one of them:
is, is_not, is_empty, is_not_empty, starts_with, ends_with, like, contains, not_contains.

For regular numbers and dates : less_than, greater_than, less_than_or_equal_to, greater_than_or_equal_to.

For a date for about an hour : before, after, this_day_and_before, this_day_and_after, yesterday, today, tomorrow, today_or_later, last_7_days, last_30_days,
last_60_days, last_90_days, last_120_days, next_7_days, next_30_days, next_60_days, next_90_days, next_120_days, next_n_days, last_n_days,
last_week, this_week, next_week, current_and_prev_week, current_and_next_week, next_n_weeks, last_n_weeks, last_month, this_month, next_month,
current_and_prev_month, current_and_next_month, next_n_months, last_n_months, last_year, this_year, last_2_years, next_2_years, current_and_prev_year,
current_and_next_year, next_n_years, last_n_years.

System columns : added_by, created_at, updated_at, ip.

If you want to search in several columns with a unifying "AND" criterion, then these criteria should be placed in one array, if "OR", then into a separate one, for example:
[[{"a" => "PROPERTY_ID_1", "b" => "A", "o" => "is"}, {"a" => "PROPERTY_ID_2", "b" => "A", "o" => "is"}],
[{"a" => "PROPERTY_ID_3", "b" => "B", "o" => "SEARCH_CRITERIA"}]]

the search formula will be: "Find all records where PROPERTY_ID_1 AND PROPERTY_ID_2 are equal to A OR PROPERTY_ID_3 is equal to B"

limit

The number of records in the search results, the maximum is 200.

Relationships

How to link records:

In order to update link between records your have to pass separate hash into CREATE or UPDATE record call.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d '{"rel":{REL_ID:RECORD_ID}}' "https://quintadb.com/apps/APP_ID/dtypes/CURRENT_RECORD_ID.json?rest_api_key=API_KEY"

This hash should be like 'rel' => {rel_id => RECORD_ID} or 'rel' => {rel_id => [RECORD_ID, RECORD_ID2]} if you have many-to-many relationship. Where RECORD_ID it's a record's ID with which you want to link current record. Please, see below how to get rel_id.

Parameters

rest_api_key

your API key

PROPERTY_ID

ENTITY_ID

You have to know your field's form identifier in order to update field settings. You can find ENTITY_ID using Fetch All Forms call. Once you know it, you'll need to add this ENTITY_ID to URL in the link below, i.e. change /apps/APP_ID/entities/ENTITY_ID/properties.json to /apps/qweWO_dVXHdHie1WeGFE8k2/entities/aOWO_dVXHdHie1WeGFE8k2/properties.json

Files

Get file URL

In order to download record files you have to fetch record values first and then you'll be able to download file using the link like this https://quintadb.com/images/data/PROPERTY_ID/RECORD_ID/FILE_NAME, where FILE_NAME - file name, which you can get from record values hash, which looks likeу PROPERTY_ID => VALUE, RECORD_ID - record ID, PROPERTY_ID - field ID.

Upload files

In order to upload a file into a record you have to make a POST request to the upload_file API method with multipart/form-data content type header and only after that you have to create or update your record. So the record ID should be generated before the calls. And also you'll have to generate the Multipart header, please, follow the Ruby example with MultipartPost class below. In example you'll learn how to upload the file into the subform too.
