Show

Retrieving a single record is simply a matter of hitting the appropriate URL with a HTTP GET. Record retrieval via show requires knowledge of the record ID. It is more appropriate to use the list action is when searching is required. For example, hitting a URL of the form:

https://rxg.dns/admin/scaffolds/accounts/show/3.json?api_key=P7Z...idA

Results in the rXg retrieving the account with record ID 3 and sending a response of the form:

{"address1":null,"address2":null,"automatic_login":null,"bill_at":null,
"city":null,"company":null,"country":null,"created_at":"2012-05-10T11:41:40-04:00",
"created_by":null,"email":"[email protected]","first_name":"Colin","id":3,
"last_name":"Patterson","lock_devices":null,"logged_in_at":"2012-05-08T01:24:51-04:00",
"login":"cpatterson746","note":"Automatically generated by script run by root\n",
"phone":"4997197472","region":null,"state":"active",
"updated_at":"2012-05-10T11:41:40-04:00","updated_by":null,
"usage_expiration":null,"usage_minutes":28180,"zip":null}

Similarly hitting a URL of the form:

https://rxg.dns/admin/scaffolds/accounts/show/3.xml?api_key=P7Z...idA

Results in a response of the form:

<account>
