Query fields on related objects using the dot operator (for example, `VENDOR.CREDITLIMIT` on APBILL).
select	Required	sequence	The names of the fields that you want included in the response, and an optional aggregate function such as `count` or `sum`. Returning all fields is not supported.
orderby	Optional	object	Provide an `order` element with a field name and choose an ascending or descending sort order, for example: `<order> <field>RECORDNO</field> <descending/> </order>`
options	Optional	object	Query options: Set the `caseinsensitive` element to `true` for a case-insensitive query `<caseinsensitive>true</caseinsensitive>` In a multi-entity company, set the `showprivate` element to `true` to query data in private entities: `<showprivate>true</showprivate>` Specify the `returnformat` for the response: `xml` (default), `json`, or `csv` `<returnformat>json</returnformat>`
pagesize	Optional	integer	Maximum number of matching objects to return in the response, between `1` and `2000` items (Default: `100`)
offset	Optional	integer	Point at which to start indexing into records (Default: `0`)
