API: GET /v1/entities/{entity}/{comboKey}. List objects

ReferenceAPI Reference16/04/2026Updated 16/04/2026
Stream a list of objects of a given entity type whose comboKey starts with the supplied prefix. Returns NDJSON.

GET /v1/entities/{entity}/{comboKey}

Streams every object of a given entity type whose comboKey starts with the supplied prefix, scoped to your subscription. This is the standard "list related records" query.

Path parameters

  • entity, uppercase entity code (e.g. PPL, ACTION, PATENT).
  • comboKey, prefix of the hierarchical combo key. Everything after SUB:{your-sub-id} drills down into related records. Use SUB alone to list every object of that entity in your tenant.

Query parameters

  • fields (optional), comma-separated list of field names to return. Other fields are omitted, which saves bandwidth when you only need a subset.

Response

Content-Type: application/json. The body is a JSON array streamed as records are read. Each item also carries a _type: "data" marker. Errors that occur mid-stream are emitted as objects with _type: "error".

Examples

List every person in your tenant:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://rest.demandflow.com/v1/entities/PPL/SUB"

List all patent applications under a specific patent, returning only id, name, and status:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://rest.demandflow.com/v1/entities/PATENTA/SUB:abc123%7CPAT:xyz789?fields=id,name,status"

(URL-encode | as %7C if your client does not do it automatically.)

Consuming the stream

For small responses, read the whole body and JSON.parse it as a normal array. For large result sets, parse the response as it arrives:

const r = await fetch(url, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } });
const reader = r.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
let buf = '';
while (true) {
    const { value, done } = await reader.read();
    if (done) break;
    buf += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
    // split on commas between items, or switch to POST /v1/query for true NDJSON
}
