Get contact custom fields

Maulik Chauhan

I need to create sugar contacts to my application. For that I try to use the Sugar API but I didn't find an option to get the contacts custom fields.

Is it possible to get contact custom fields with the Sugar API? 

Thanks!

    Hi Maulik Chauhan 

    What do you really want to accomplish?

    To fetch custom fields values given a Contact or

    To fetch list of all custom fields defined in the Contacts module?

    When you are logged in you can call the REST service 

    .../rest/v10/metadata?type_filter=modules&module_filter=<modulename>

    e.g. 

    .../rest/v10/metadata?type_filter=modules&module_filter=Accounts

    to get all metadata of a module.

    The result looks like this:

    {
    "_hash": "d587703986a2a01bf679750a221a7fbe",
    "modules": {
    "Accounts": {
    "fields": {
    "id": {
    "name": "id",
    "vname": "LBL_ID",
    "type": "id",
    "required": true,
    "reportable": true,
    "duplicate_on_record_copy": "no",
    "comment": "Unique identifier",
    "mandatory_fetch": true
    }, ...

    The custom fields have the attribute 

      "custom_module": "<module_name>",
