How to retrieve a custom object based on a custom field using Rest API?

Hi,

I tried using /services/data/v48.0/sobjects/DBA_Invoice__c?Invoice_No__c=I-52555
But this retrieves all records.

Hi Sirisha,

Greetings!

If you would like to query based on the field value then you would need to use the Query as it search for field value and then give you the list of records.

Example:/services/data/v41.0/query/?q=SELECT+Id+from+DBA_Invoice__c+where+Invoice_No__c=I-52555

Reference:https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_query.htm

Kindly mark it as best answer if it helps so that it can help others in the future.

Warm Regards,

Can you please try the below request if the value of the field is as "I-52555"

/services/data/v41.0/query/?q=SELECT+Id+from+DBA_Invoice__c+where+Invoice_No__c="I-52555"

Thank you!

It worked with single quotes.
