Custom Object API questions


When using the Read API for the the Custom Object API:

  1. Is there a query Body length limit? I reached about 60 fields in my select, plus have a WHERE and ORDER BY clause and fields that return in a shorter query work fine, but when added to the longer query with 60+ fields the queries suddenly fail.
  2. When reading from the Activity Timeline object I am not able to read the Notes or the NotesPlainText fields. Is it possible to return a Rich Area Text field such as Notes using the API? Why would the NotesPlainText field, which is a String fail to return? Is there a String length limit for the read API calls?

I can not answer #2, I’ve never really queried, just insert/updates.

 

However, for number 1 I have not seen this limit. I’ve pushed an API with 64 fields and also having lookups to perform with no lissue.

Hi @jherzog and happy New Year!  

You should be getting an error message of some kind in the response -- is there anything useful in your message?
