Steps
Identify whether the entity you need (Candidate, JobOrder, Placement, ClientCorporation, etc.) is indexed — indexed entities support the faster /search endpoint.
Use /entity/{EntityName}/search with Lucene-style query syntax for indexed entities.
Use /entity/{EntityName}/query (SQL-like where clause) for entities that are not indexed — calling /search on them fails.
Paginate results with start and count parameters on either endpoint.
For single-record reads/writes, use GET/POST/PUT on /entity/{EntityName}/{id} directly rather than search/query.
Known gotchas
Using /search on a non-indexed entity (or /query on one that expects /search) returns an error rather than falling back automatically.
Offset-based start/count pagination over a changing dataset can skip or duplicate records — sort by a stable field to mitigate this.
Field-level write permissions are tied to the authenticated user context, so a BhRestToken from a restricted user can silently omit fields on write.
