Steps
Open the generic inquiry designer and, on the Web Service tab, enable the inquiry for the endpoint you plan to extend
Go to Integration > Preferences > Web Service Endpoints, select the target contract-based endpoint version, and add the generic inquiry as an entity
Save and re-generate the endpoint so the GI name becomes callable at its REST path
Issue a GET to the endpoint URL followed by the GI's entity name, adding $expand=Result since generic inquiry entities only expose a Details/Result collection
Apply $filter and $top on the Result collection the same way you would on any other contract-based entity
Known gotchas
A generic inquiry isn't visible over REST until it's explicitly added to a Web Service Endpoint — enabling it in the designer alone isn't enough
Without $expand=Result, the request returns an empty or non-matching payload since the GI has no top-level fields of its own
