Parameters

pagenumber, optional
To get the list of records from the respective pages. Default value is 1.
per_pagenumber, optional
To get the list of records available per page. The default and the maximum possible value is 200.
fieldsstring, mandatory
Specify the API names of the fields whose details you want to receive in the response.

Note

You can fetch a maximum of 200 records per API call. Use the page and per_page parameters to paginate and fetch the remaining records in subsequent calls.
By default, the notes are sorted and displayed chronologically in the API response, i.e, the oldest note is displayed first. However, if you choose "Recent First" in CRM's web UI, sorting happens based on the newest note first. Note that the option you choose in the web UI is user-specific, and applies to all the modules that have Notes as a related list.
