How to Use SuiteTalk to Call a SavedSearch by ID in NetSuite

NetSuite is a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform that helps organizations manage their business processes. One of the powerful features of NetSuite is its ability to perform searches and retrieve data efficiently. For developers, calling a saved search using SuiteTalk is an essential task, but sometimes finding the right way to do it can be challenging. In this guide, we will break down how to create and execute a SOAP message to call a saved search by its ID.

What is SuiteTalk?

SuiteTalk is NetSuite’s web services platform that allows developers to interact with the NetSuite application programmatically. This API supports operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting records. For those familiar with XML and SOAP, SuiteTalk is a powerful way to integrate various applications and services with NetSuite.

The Challenge: Executing a Saved Search

A common requirement for developers is to execute a saved search programmatically. A saved search is a predefined search that queries data based on specific criteria, making it easier to pull relevant information. Using a saved search ID, you can execute that query through SuiteTalk.

The Solution: Crafting a SOAP Request

Here’s a simple example of a SOAP request that calls a saved search in NetSuite. In this case, we will look at how to execute a customer search using the internal ID of the saved search.

SOAP Request Example

Below is the SOAP envelope structure that you need to use. The request consists of a header and a body. The header holds authentication details, while the body contains the search parameters.

Breakdown of the SOAP Request

Header: This section includes authentication details necessary for making the request. You must ensure to fill in the details such as the account, consumer key, token, nonce, timestamp, and signature considering your NetSuite configurations.

Body: The body contains the search request. The savedSearchId attribute holds the ID of the saved search you want to execute.

Using C# to Execute the Search

If you are using C# , here’s a snippet that shows how you can achieve the same with code:

In this example, the CustomerSearchAdvanced object is instantiated, and the savedSearchId is set to "366" (or whichever ID your saved search uses). The ns.search(search) method then executes this search.

Conclusion

Executing saved searches using SuiteTalk is a vital skill for developers working with NetSuite. By utilizing SOAP requests, you can effectively pull relevant data from your NetSuite instance. In this guide, we covered how to create a SOAP message for a saved search and provided a C# code example to make the search call more intuitive. With this knowledge in hand, you should be well equipped to implement saved searches for your integrations!
