GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of Endpoints in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters name, address, group and subgroup. Endpoints are only returned if they match ALL of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of Endpoints.
