Retrieving Resources

User can retrieve resources by sending a GET request with a UUID reference number of the resource. Most commonly, the request can yield two response statuses: 200 or 404.

An example of retrieving a customer is illustrated below. Note that customer_ref is also referred as customer UUID.

GET /customer/(customer_ref)

Sample request

GET /customer/088ffd8885df4fd0b4076aea195c3377 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.fieldaware.net
Authorization: Token d943a51d68c44ca38cab9abda20a4d18
Content-Type: application/json
