Please vote up Create REST API functionality to perform record searches or run reports.
The Web Services API has a couple methods for searching: SearchRecordsByReport and ExecuteSearch. For help with these methods or constructing the SearchXML, check out these links too:
- 000032489 - How to search for records using the ExecuteSearch method in the RSA Archer Web Services API
- Archer Search 2.0 tool - A quick way to test and build different SearchReport XML strings using the Web Services ExecuteSearch method
- Archer API Templates - an Archer application to quickly test the Archer Web Services API, REST API, and Content API using Custom Objects and much more
There is not a documented, public API way of doing this. But using a browser's F12 developer mode, we can see the internal API calls being made when using global search.
