Perform Search

POST 
/search

Performs a search with the provided query and returns a matching result collection. By default, you can page a maximum of 10,000 search result records. To page past 10,000 records, you can use searchAfter paging. Refer to Paginating Search Queries for more information about how to implement searchAfter paging.

Query Parameters

    offset int32

    Offset into the full result set. Usually specified with limit to paginate through the results. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.

    Example: 0
    limit int32

    Possible values: <= 10000

    Default value: 10000

    Max number of results to return. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.

    Example: 10000
    count boolean

    If true it will populate the X-Total-Count response header with the number of results that would be returned if limit and offset were ignored.

    Since requesting a total count can have a performance impact, it is recommended not to send count=true if that value will not be used.

    See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.

    Example: true

Body

required
    indices Index[]

    Possible values: [accessprofiles, accountactivities, entitlements, events, identities, roles, *]

    The names of the Elasticsearch indices in which to search. If none are provided, then all indices will be searched.

    queryType QueryType

    Possible values: [DSL, SAILPOINT, TEXT, TYPEAHEAD]

    Default value: SAILPOINT

    The type of query to use. By default, the SAILPOINT query type is used, which requires the query object to be defined in the request body. To use the queryDsl or typeAheadQuery objects in the request, you must set the type to DSL or TYPEAHEAD accordingly. Additional values may be added in the future without notice.

    queryVersion object

    Default value: 5.2

    The current Elasticserver version.

    query object

    Query parameters used to construct an Elasticsearch query object.

    query string

    The query using the Elasticsearch Query String Query syntax from the Query DSL extended by SailPoint to support Nested queries.

    fields string[]

    The fields the query will be applied to. Fields provide you with a simple way to add additional fields to search, without making the query too complicated. For example, you can use the fields to specify that you want your query of "a*" to be applied to "name", "firstName", and the "source.name". The response will include all results matching the "a*" query found in those three fields. A field's availability depends on the indices being searched. For example, if you are searching "identities", you can apply your search to the "firstName" field, but you couldn't use "firstName" with a search on "access profiles". Refer to the response schema for the respective lists of available fields.

    timeZone string

    The time zone to be applied to any range query related to dates.

    innerHit object

    The innerHit query object returns a flattened list of results for the specified nested type.

    Default value: false

    Indicates that the terms can be located anywhere in the specified fields; otherwise, the fields must begin with the terms.

    typeAheadQuery object

    Query parameters used to construct an Elasticsearch type ahead query object. The typeAheadQuery performs a search for top values beginning with the typed values. For example, typing "Jo" results in top hits matching "Jo." Typing "Job" results in top hits matching "Job."
