Successful Query REST Service response

If the query was successful, the service returns an HTTP response code 200 and a JSON response that contains the list of relevant results for the query.

The envelope

The response is contained by an envelope. Thus, each response has a predictable set of keys. The next code block shows the envelope code block containing the response:

{
"response" : { ... },
"messages": {
"warns" : [],
"errors" : [],
"infos" : []
}
}

The table below describes the fields in an envelope code block:

Field nameTypeDescription
messagesobjectUsed to communicate extra information about the response to the client.
messages.warnsarrayWarning messages (can be empty or not present).
messages.errorsarrayError messages (can be empty or not present).
messages.infosarrayInfo messages (can be empty or not present).
responseobjectContains the returned results.
