Vault Admins can query Vault component types. Use the Retrieve All Component Metadata API for the component type to retrieve the query target from the vobject field. For example, the query target for Checklisttype is checklisttype__sys.

Not all Vault component types are available for query. The Supported Operations matrix for MDL components shows whether the component type is queryable. Individual Vault components are not queryable.

You can also query component metadata using the vault_component__v query target even if the component type isn’t queryable. To retrieve MDL and JSON component definitions, use the Vault Component Definitions query targets.

Use the Retrieve Object Metadata API to get the queryable fields for a Vault component type query target or for vault_component__v.

The following are examples of Vault component queries.

Query: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata

The following query returns the UI name and API name of components with type Accountmessage:

SELECT name__v, api_name__sys FROM accountmessage__sys

Response: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata

Section link for Response: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata
{ "responseStatus": "SUCCESS", "responseDetails": { "pagesize": 1000, "pageoffset": 0, "size": 4, "total": 4 }, "data": [ { "name__v": "newUser", "api_name__sys": "new_user__v" }, { "name__v": "newSamlUser", "api_name__sys": "new_saml_user__v" }, { "name__v": "resetPassword", "api_name__sys": "reset_password__v" }, { "name__v": "emailAddressChanged", "api_name__sys": "email_address_changed__v" } ] }

Query: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata (vault_component__v)

Section link for Query: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata (vault_component__v)

The following query uses the vault_component__v query target to retrieve the label and component name of components with type Accountmessage:

SELECT label__v, component_name__v FROM vault_component__v WHERE component_type__v = 'Accountmessage'

Response: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata (vault_component__v)

Section link for Response: Retrieve Queryable Component Type Metadata (vault_component__v)

This query returns the same data as the previous example query.

{ "responseStatus": "SUCCESS", "responseDetails": { "pagesize": 1000, "pageoffset": 0, "size": 4, "total": 4 }, "data": [ { "label__v": "newUser", "component_name__v": "new_user__v" }, { "label__v": "newSamlUser", "component_name__v": "new_saml_user__v" }, { "label__v": "resetPassword", "component_name__v": "reset_password__v" }, { "label__v": "emailAddressChanged", "component_name__v": "email_address_changed__v" } ] }

Query: Retrieve Non-Queryable Component Type Metadata

Section link for Query: Retrieve Non-Queryable Component Type Metadata

The following query returns the label and component name of components with the non-queryable type Notificationtemplate:

SELECT label__v, component_name__v FROM vault_component__v WHERE component_type__v = 'Notificationtemplate'

Response: Retrieve Non-Queryable Component Type Metadata
