Search records

GET

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Finds clients, projects, invoices, expenses, time entries, tasks and team members whose names, numbers or notes match the words typed, grouped by kind, at most limit of each. The last word matches as a prefix, and accents and case don’t matter. Only kinds the caller may open are searched, and a Member finds only their own time and expenses. A query shorter than two characters finds nothing. Not available to account API keys.

q
string

The words to look for.

types
string

Which kinds to search, comma-separated: clients, projects, invoices, expenses, time, tasks, team. Defaults to every kind the caller may open; kinds they may not open are skipped.

limit
integer | string format: int32
/^-?(?:0|[1-9]\d*)$/

The most results of each kind. Defaults to 5, at most 20.

OK

Media typeapplication/json

Shorthand for the overwhelmingly common ServiceResponse&lt;TData, ErrorResponse&gt;. C# cannot alias an open generic, so this is expressed as a subclass rather than a using alias.

object
success

True when the call succeeded and TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data is populated.

boolean
data
One of:
null
error
One of:
null

Not signed in, or the credential isn’t recognised, has expired or was revoked: auth.missing_credential, auth.invalid_credential, auth.expired_credential, auth.revoked_credential.

object
success

True when the call succeeded and TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data is populated.

boolean
data

Payload on success; default on failure.

error

The Framework’s default error shape, used as the TError of ServiceResponse<TData, TError> unless an App genuinely needs its own.

object
code

Stable, machine-readable error identifier (for example account.not_found). Clients branch on this, never on string ErrorResponse.Message.

string
message

Human-readable description of what went wrong. Safe to surface to a User.

string
fieldErrors

Optional per-field validation failures, keyed by field name. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that are not validation failures.

null | object
details

Optional machine-readable facts about the failure that a client renders rather than parses out of string ErrorResponse.Message — e.g. plan.limit_reached’s limit, count and planName. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that carry none.

Not allowed. error.code says why: auth.role_not_permitted (your role doesn’t allow it), auth.read_only_token (the token can only read), app.no_seat (no seat in this App), auth.api_access_not_in_plan (the plan doesn’t include API access), auth.not_a_member (no longer a member of the Account), auth.insufficient_scope (an Account API key without the scope).
