REST API v1: GET databases

Warning: You are viewing the documentation for the old REST API. We recommend using our latest version of the REST API.

A method to request a list of all available databases. This is an HTTP GET call to the following address:

Available parameters

  • start: the first profile to be requested
  • limit: the length of the batch that is requested
  • total: whether or not the total number of profiles in the database should be counted

More information on the meaning of start, limit and total parameters can be found in the article on paging.

Returned fields

The method returns a list of databases. For each database in the list, the following properties are returned:

  • ID: unique numerical identifier
  • name: name of the database
  • description: optional description of the database
  • archived: whether or not the database is archived
  • created: timestamp on which the database was created
  • fields: array of the fields in the database

PHP example

The following PHP script demonstrates how to use the method:

// dependencies
require_once('copernica_rest_api.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestApi("your-access-token");

// parameters to pass to the call
$parameters = array(
    'limit'     =>  100
);

// do the call, and print result
print_r($api->get("databases", $parameters));

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
