Get the values of a record

So we retrieved a list of results for a module but you might need more details on a single record (entry) since get_entry_list is limited to what is available in the list view. You can get this information by retrieving a single entry using get_entry.

•	Call: get_entry

•	Arguments:

o	string:session – the session_id

o	string:module_name – the module for the entry you want to retrieve

o	string:id – the id of the entry you want to retrieve

o	complex-type:select_fields - the fields you want to retrieve

•

Results:

o	complex-type:get_entry_result

 

get_entry_result is a new complex type introduced in this section. It is a struct containing three parameters:

•	complex-type:field_list – this is metadata of the fields returned

•	complex-type:entry_list – this is the actual result data (in this case it will be an array of size 1)

•	complex-type:error (error_value) any errors that occurred

The reason for including entry_list in the same manner as get_entry_list_result is so that the same function can create data structures for both calls.
