You can also add the startIndex parameter to indicate which record should be the first on the page. This means you can alter a query to return the second or third page of results. Generally speaking, however, the startIndex parameter is "zero based" - you start at zero and subsequent pages begin with a startIndex of the next result page. Using the above query as an example, the second page of the results would show startIndex=31, because the page size is 30.

Info
titlePage Size Note

Page size information is cached, so that if you make a call that identifies a particular page size, subsequent calls will also use that same page size, even without the parameter. To change the number of results appearing on each page, include a different size parameter in a call, or clear the cache to return to the default.

Example 1 - Find Data Element by Public ID and Version

Find The following examples find a Data Element where Public Id = 2178693 and Version=2.1 and display the basic metadata attributes.Either the CDE Browser or the caDSR REST API can be used to satisfy this query and results from both are shown below.

Example 1a Results Displayed in the CDE Browser

This method can be used to retrieve Data Elements only when you know both the Public ID and Version number (If you have trouble with the following link in Firefox, cut and paste it into IE.)into Firefox).

Can you retrieve all Data Elements using a common EVS concept code or name, but restrict results to only those where the concept is “Primary” in the CDE’s Object Class?

Answer: Yes. This can be done through any of the caDSR 4.0 APIs, as well as for restricting to Property or a Value Meaning in the CDEs Enumerated Value Domain.
