I need to get a customer record, but I have found very incomplete documentation of how to do something basic like this.  When I try to call MethodAPISelect_XMLV2, it returns "Please specify a list of fields to retreive data from."  Is there a list of possible fields somewhere?  Also I'm assuming the table name is "Customer", but I'm not sure because I haven't yet beeen able to get a list of tables. 

Thanks,

Hello Otto,

When retrieving data using the MethodAPISelect_XMLv2 call, you need to specify a list of field names.  There a few ways you can accomplish this -  

• You can use the MethodAPIFieldListV2 call to view a list of fields for the 'Customer' table.  To get you started, try using the fieldname of 'FullName'.  The parameter passed in should be a comma separated list in case you are retrieving more than a single field. 
• You can also access table & field information by logging directly into your Method account and navigating to the Customize Tab -> Tables / Fields Tab Link (assuming you are a Classic user).
• I've also replied to your other post regarding retrieving table information here.

Finally, we do have sample projects here if you have not already found them.
