How to find by some field from tables ? Please point to api’s with some example.

thanks!

Set Up > Doc Type page has the data you are looking for, is there any specific purpose you need an API?

3

wanted to search for Lead by either email / phone / or any other field for now. But might need the same for other docTypes. Guessing should be same for all of them.

4

let me know what is the API for that. The page you mentioned have the table details, not the api I need to call to fetch the lead using mobile/email/ etc…

thanks!

Here is the link to ERPNext API’s.

https://frappe.github.io/erpnext/current/api/frappe.client

The one you are looking for is:
frappe.client.get (doctype, name=None, filters=None)

6

if I want to search by email, is this the only change ?

frappe.client.get(“Lead”, email="some@email.com", filters = None)

7

frappe.client.get("Lead", frm.doc.name, filters = {email:"some@email.com"})

Something like this.

8

what will be format (of parameters) if want to hit the rest end point ( /api/method/frappe.client.get ) ?
