Entity Query vs Instance Query

Once the internal ID of a database entry is known, there are two API endpoints available to retrieve this entity.

Of course, the query endpoint would work:

POST /data/system/entity/query

{
  "conds": {
    "me.id": 2
  }
}

But this also does a table and result count to include in the reply, so the instance queries which do not do so will be faster.

To get only the instance itself, no joined data:

GET /data/system/entity/2

Should you need joins of function calls etc:

POST /data/system/entity/2/query

{
  "attrs": {
    "prefetch": [
      "module"
    ],
    "+select": [
      {
        "coalesce": "me.description,me.label"
      }
    ],
    "+as": [
      "mytext"
    ]
  }
}
