Endpoint overview

Use the GET method to get details of existing saved searches or all the saved searches existing in the system.

To get details of a particular saved search, you need to specify the saved search name. You can also specify a portion of the saved search name to get details of all the saved searches matching that portion fully and partially. For example, if you provide "SS1" as the name, details for the saved searches "SS1", "SS12", and "ss13" are returned.

If you do not specify any name, details of the all the saved searches are returned.

This endpoint returns the following saved search details:

ItemDescription
Saved search nameName of the saved search.
Saved search ID

Unique number by which you can identify the saved search.

The saved search ID can be used to perform a search while running the following APIs:

Using the search ID while performing a search (rather than a saved search name) might be more useful in scenarios when duplicate saved search names occur. Duplicate saved searches can occur in a scenario where one user creates a saved search with a particular name, while another user creates a saved search with the same name and also marks it as public. In this scenario, the first user can see two saved searches with the same name. Similarly, a duplicate saved search can occur when you import a content pack containing saved search with a duplicate name.

SourceSource of the saved search, whether the source is a content pack, shared by another user, or created by the user.
Source nameName of the source – content pack name or user name (based on the source details).
