Query Related Records (Map Service/Layer)

URL:: https://<layer-url>/queryRelatedRecords
Methods:: GET
Required Capability:: Data
Version Introduced:: 10.0

Description

The query related records operation is performed on a layer / table resource. The result of this operation is one or more featuresets grouped by source layer / table object IDs. Each featureset contains Feature objects including the values for the fields requested by the user. For related layers, if you request geometry information, the geometry of each feature is also returned in the featureset. For related tables, the featureset does not include geometries.

Also, each featureset contains an array of field information objects for fields requested in outFields parameter. See Layer/Table for details on fields.

You can provide arguments to the query related records operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

New at 11.3

This operation introduces two new parameters i.e. resultRecordCount and resultOffset to support pagination for map services query related records results. Support for pagination is indicated when the layer-level supportsQueryRelatedPagination property, under advancedQueryCapabilities , is true .
Map services now support the orderBy and returnCountOnly parameters. Support for these parameters is indicated when the layer-level supportsAdvancedQueryRelated property, under advancedQueryCapabilities , is true .

New in 10.5

The feature service layer Query operation supports the returnTrueCurves and historicMoment parameters.

New in 10.1

Support for returnZ and returnM was added for layers. Default value for returnZ and returnM is false.
Support for gdbVersion parameter was added. Use this parameter to specify the geodatabase version to query.
geometryPrecision parameter was introduced. This option can be used to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by the query operation.
JSON response contains an optional property exceededTransferLimit . This property will be true only if the number of records exceeds the maximum number configured by the server administrator.

Request parameters

Parameter	Details
`objectIds`	The object IDs of this layer/table to be queried. Records related to these object IDs will be queried. Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 objectIds=<objectId1>, <objectId2>` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 objectIds=37, 462`
`relationshipId`	The ID of the relationship to be queried. The `relationships` that this layer/table participates in are included in the Layer / Table Resource response. Records in tables/layers corresponding to the related table/layer of the relationship are queried. Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 relationshipId=4`
`outFields`	The list of fields from the related table/layer to be included in the returned featureset. This list is a comma delimited list of field names. If you specify the shape field in the list of return fields, it is ignored. To request geometry, set `returnGeometry` to `true` . You can also specify the wildcard "" as the value of this parameter. In this case, the results will include all the field values. Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 3 4 outFields=AREANAME,ST,POP2000 //wildcard usage outFields=`
`definitionExpression`	The definition expression to be applied to the related table/layer. From the list of records that are related to the specified `objectIds` , only those records that conform to this expression will be returned. Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 definitionExpression=POP2000 > 100000`
`returnGeometry`	If `true` , the featureset includes the geometry associated with each feature. The default is `true` . Note This parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables. Values: `true` \| `false`
`maxAllowableOffset`	This option was added at 10.0. This option can be used to specify the `maxAllowableOffset` to be used for generalizing geometries returned by the `query related records` operation. The `maxAllowableOffset` is in the units of the `outSR` . If `outSR` is not specified, the `maxAllowableOffset` is assumed to be in the unit of the spatial reference of the map. Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 maxAllowableOffset=2`
`geometryPrecision`	This option was added at 10.1. This option can be used to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by the `queryRelatedRecords` operation. This applies to X and Y values only (not m- or z-values). Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 geometryPrecision=3`
`historicMoment`	This option was added at 10.5 and works with ArcGIS Enterprise services only. The historic moment to query. This parameter applies only if the `supportsQueryWithHistoricMoment` property of the layers being queried is set to `true` . This setting is provided in the layer resource. If `historicMoment` is not specified, the query will apply to the current features. Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 historicMoment=<Epoch time in milliseconds>` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 historicMoment=1199145600000`
`outSR`	The spatial reference of the returned geometry. The spatial reference can be specified as either a well-known ID or as a spatial reference json object. If `outSR` is not specified, the geometry is returned in the spatial reference of the map. Note This parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables.
`returnZ`	This option was added at 10.1. If `true` , Z values will be included in the results if the features have Z values. Otherwise, Z values are not returned. The default is `false` . Note This parameter only applies if `returnGeometry` is `true` . Values: `true` \| `false`
`returnM`	This option was added at 10.1. If `true` , M values will be included in the results if the features have M values. Otherwise, M values are not returned. The default is `false` . Note This parameter only applies if `returnGeometry` is `true` . Values: `true` \| `false`
`returnTrueCurves`	This option was added at 10.5. Optional parameter that is `false` by default. When set to `true` , returns true curves in output geometries; otherwise, curves are converted to densified polylines or polygons. Values: `true` \| `false`
`gdbVersion`	This option was added at 10.1. GeoDatabase version to query. This parameter applies only if `hasVersionedData` of the property of the service and `isDataVersioned` property of the layer(s) queried are `true` . If this is not specified, query will apply to published map's version. Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 gdbVersion=<geodatabase version>` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 gdbVersion=sde.USER1`
`resultRecordCount`	This option can be used for fetching query results up to the `resultRecordCount` specified. When `resultOffset` is specified but this parameter is not, the map service defaults it to `maxRecordCount` . The maximum value for this parameter is the value of the layer's `maxRecordcount` `resultOffset` property. Note This parameter only applies if `supportsQueryRelatedPagination` is `true` . Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 //Will fetch up to 10 records resultRecordCount=10`
`resultOffset`	This option can be used for fetching query results by skipping the specified number of records and starting from the next record (that is, `resultOffset` + 1th), and to fetch records that are beyond the `maxRecordCount` . The default is 0. Note This parameter only applies if `supportsQueryRelatedPagination` is `true` . Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 //If maxRecordCount is set to 1000, this will return the query results in range of 1001 to 1100. resultOffset=1000`
`orderByFields`	This parameter is used to request a list of the related records based on the field order. This list is a comma delimited list of field names. When `resultRecordCount` or `resultOffset` is specified, the ObjectID field gets used by default when this parameter is left blank. Note This parameter only applies if `supportsAdvancedQueryRelated` is `true` . Syntax Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 orderByFields=<fieldName1>,<fieldName2>` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 orderByFields=TOWNSHIP,RANGE`
`returnCountOnly`	If `true` , returns the count of the related records for each object ID. The default is `false` . This parameter is only applicable if `supportsAdvancedQueryRelated` is `true` . Note If included in the request, this parameter will overwrite all other parameters and responses. Values: `true` \| `false` Example Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 returnCountOnly=true`
`f`	The response format. The default response format is `html` . Values: `html` \| `json` \| `pjson`
