NetSuite REST API

Get Record

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific record from NetSuite based on the provided record type and internal ID. It supports expanding sub-resources, returning fields in a simplified enumeration format, and limiting the API version used. This operation is useful for fetching detailed information about a single record, such as a sales order, customer, or custom record, directly from NetSuite.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch a sales order record by its internal ID to process order details in a workflow.
  2. Retrieve a customer record with expanded sublists to analyze customer data and related transactions.
  3. Get a custom record by specifying its script ID and internal ID for custom business logic integration.

Properties

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the internal ID is correct and exists in NetSuite to avoid record not found errors.

  • Check API version compatibility if the request fails due to unsupported features.
  • If expanding sub-resources, large records may cause performance delays or timeouts.
