GET by Query Parameters

This GET service will return a list of Resource Types in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters resourceTypeId, resourceTypeName, ownerType, and isActive. Resource Types 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 Resource Types. The resourceTypeName parameter returns Resource Types that contain the specified parameter. The other parameters must be equal to the Resource Types.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/resourcetype?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.
Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

resourceTypeId={resourceTypeId}

resourceTypeName={resourceTypeName}

isActive={isActive}

ownerType={ownerType}

Examples:
To Specify the code parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/resourcetype?resourceTypeId={resourceTypeId}

To Specify the code and group code parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/resourcetype?resourceTypeId={resourceTypeId}&resourceTypeName={resourceTypeName}

To Specify the name, group code, and sub group code parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/resourcetype?resourceTypeId={resourceTypeId}&resourceTypeName={resourceTypeName}&ownerType={ownerType}

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by resourceTypeName=NAME is the same as searching by resourceTypeName=name.
