Basic Usage

This sample usage shows how to read "Cases" module entity collection data. It highlights usage of fields selection option. For more request options make changes to the Options parameter.

This implements the get_entry_list SugarCRM REST API method.

using SugarRestSharp;

string url = "http://191.101.224.189/sugar/service/v4_1/rest.php";
string username = "will";
string password = "will";

string moduleName = "Cases";

var client = new SugarRestClient(url, username, password);
var request = new SugarRestRequest(moduleName, RequestType.BulkRead);

// Parameter can be set to null or leave unset.
request.Parameter = null;

// Select fields.
List<string> selectFields = new List<string>();
selectFields.Add(nameof(Case.Id));
selectFields.Add(nameof(Case.Name));

// You can mix C# type and json type.
selectFields.Add("status");
selectFields.Add("created_by");

request.Options.SelectFields = selectFields;

// Select only 5 entities.
// 5 is maximum, if all cases less than 5, less than 5 will be returned.
request.Options.MaxResult = 5;
SugarRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
