Displaying records and attribute values with the API

This section describes how to use the Conversation Web Service to request records and their attribute values from the data domain.

Configuring a record list
You use the RecordListConfig complex type to configure settings for lists of records returned from a query.
Understanding a RecordList result
The records returned from the query are contained in the RecordList element.
Paging through a large record set
If many records are returned, you can use the Page attribute to specify the page to be displayed.
Retrieving large numbers of records
To obtain a large number of records that can later be exported, you request them as part of the RecordListConfig type in the Conversation Web Service.
Exporting large numbers of records
Endeca Server does not have a dedicated facility for the bulk export of records. Instead, you can pin a version of the index, and request a large number of records from this version, with paging through the results. The records are returned in an XML format and thus require parsing as a post-processing step.
Displaying attribute values
You can send a request asking to display attribute values assigned on records.
Displaying record details
The RecordDetailsConfig type defines the configuration for a record details query.
Displaying record counts
The RecordCountConfig type is used for counting the records in the state.
