What’s the fastest way to fetch retained earnings via API (any API, e.g. SOAP or REST)

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The fastest way to fetch retained earnings via API would be to use SuiteTalk API. You can create a saved search in NetSuite that shows everything that adds up to the Retained Earnings on the Balance Sheet. Then, you can use the SuiteTalk API to fetch the results of this saved search. Here is a sample code snippet on how to fetch saved search results using SuiteTalk API:

javascript
var search = nlapiLoadSearch(null, 'customsearch_your_saved_search_id');
var resultSet = search.runSearch();
var results = [];
var index = 0;
var step = 1000; // max is 1000
do {
    var subset = resultSet.getResults(index, index + step);
    if (subset) {
        results = results.concat(subset);
        index += step;
    }
} while (subset && subset.length === step);

Please replace

'customsearch_your_saved_search_id'

with the ID of your saved search. Remember, if you are dealing with a large number of records, fetching the data might take some time. Also, if you need to track deleted transactions, you might want to use the

getDeleted

operation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
