Get a Custom Object by ID

get

/customObject/{id}

Gets the custom object that matches the specificed ID.

Attribute selection is enabled for all first-level attributes.

Optionally, use the expand parameter to specify any resource relationships (resourceRelationship.PARENT,resourceRelationship.CHILD, and resourceRelationship.INVOLVE) that you want to see details for. By default, you'll just see links for these.

Optionally, use the depth parameter to expand the level of referenced (related) entities. If depth=0, all referenced entities in RootEntity objects will contain only ID, HREF, and @type. If depth = N, it expands reference objects of related entities recursively. The last level contains only the references. By default, depth=0.
