Get Schools

GET /v2/finplus/debtmanagement/schools (/{id})

Use this endpoint to fetch one or more school records.

By default, this endpoint returns a collection of records, wrapped in a data array. To retrieve a single record, provide its ID in the URL, which will return a single object instead of a collection.

Pagination

The response data includes a meta object that contains pagination-specific metadata. You can use the following query parameters to control pagination:

  • limit: This parameter allows you to override the default limit of records returned, up to the max_allowed_limit specified in the response's meta object.

  • cursor: If the meta object contains a next_cursor field, it indicates that more records are available. To fetch the next set of records, include the cursor parameter in your request with the value of next_cursor. If the next_cursor field is not present, it means there are no more records to retrieve.

  • reverse_order: This parameter can be used to reverse the order in which the data is returned, useful for fetching the latest records first.
