How to get items from a SharePoint List by list URL path using Javascript REST API?

Question

Using JavaScript REST API, we can get a list by URL path. Thus:

http://vmdevsharepoint:12345/_api/web/lists/

Concatenating with this:

?$expand=RootFolder&$filter‌​=RootFolder/ServerRe‌​lativeUrl eq '/Lists/MyList'

That result this:

http://vmdevsharepoint:12345/_api/web/lists/?$expand=RootFolder&$filter‌​=RootFolder/ServerRe‌​lativeUrl eq '/Lists/MyList'

It works properly!

But how to get items from that list at same time? At same line of code too!

I tried to concatenate the above code with this:

&/items?$select=Title,DocType,DocNumber,Author

Resulting this (final line of code to copy and test in your environment):

http://vmdevsharepoint:12345/_api/web/lists/?$expand=RootFolder&$filter‌​=RootFolder/ServerRe‌​lativeUrl eq '/Lists/MyList'&/items?$select=Title,DocType,DocNumber,Author

But it does not worked!

Can someone help-me?

Answer 1

your query is extracting the lists, if you want to extract the list items you need to wo write a new query to request an specific list and then extract its items :

http://site url/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('ListTitle')/items
