All GET requests for retrieving data will be done via the SQL endpoint. Please see the SQL for more information on how to create a request. Please see the Data Dictionary for comprehensive detail of available Tables and Data.

In an effort to make the PCR-360 API more flexible, PCR has made the decision to no longer create individual endpoints for all the different data types. Instead, PCR is encouraging Users to use the SQL endpoint with a structured SELECT statement to retrieve exactly the data you want. Please see the SQL endpoint documentation for more information.

...

Note: See the How to get RECID values FAQ page for how to locate needed RECIDs.
