09/25/2020, 5:23 PMmy personal recommendation is saved searches, they have been around for a while

09/25/2020, 5:25 PMif you are undecided if you want to use the beta rest web services, then you could consider learning the workbook instead, the rest web services dont support the older saved searches

09/25/2020, 5:53 PMok that is what i thought. Hence I need to use the APIs or a Restlet to create a endpoint that lets me retrieve the data externally. I just don't know what to look at to begin
