Get Record

API endpoint that will return the requested record by ID.

Note: This API documentation is intended to give the reader an overview of the APIs capabilities and how to access them. When trying to write API calls, we strongly recommend you use the API documentation directly associated with the specific API key you will be calling. That documentation includes examples with the actual IDs of the form and form elements, includes examples for each field available in the associated forms etc. This will allow direct copy-paste of the code snippets from the documentation into your code. If you were to try and use the examples in this documentation, you would have to modify them for the fields, form ID, etc.
