Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Basic authentication header of the form Basic <encoded-value>, where <encoded-value> is the base64-encoded string username:password.

Query Parameters

​
processInstanceId
string

Filter by process instance id.

​
processInstanceIdIn
string

Only include historic details which belong to one of the passed comma-separated process instance ids.

​
executionId
string

Filter by execution id.

​
taskId
string

Filter by task id.

​
activityInstanceId
string

Filter by activity instance id.

​
caseInstanceId
string

Filter by case instance id.

​
caseExecutionId
string

Filter by case execution id.

​
variableInstanceId
string

Filter by variable instance id.

​
variableTypeIn
string

Only include historic details where the variable updates belong to one of the passed comma-separated list of variable types. A list of all supported variable types can be found here. Note: All non-primitive variables are associated with the type serializable.

​
variableNameLike
string

Filter by variable name like. Example usage: variableNameLike(%camunda%). The query will match the names of variables in a case-insensitive way.

​
tenantIdIn
string

Filter by a comma-separated list of tenant ids.

​
withoutTenantId
boolean

Only include historic details that belong to no tenant. Value may only be true, as false is the default behavior.

​
userOperationId
string

Filter by a user operation id.

​
formFields
boolean

Only include HistoricFormFields. Value may only be true, as false is the default behavior.

​
variableUpdates
boolean

Only include HistoricVariableUpdates. Value may only be true, as false is the default behavior.

​
excludeTaskDetails
boolean

Excludes all task-related HistoricDetails, so only items which have no task id set will be selected. When this parameter is used together with taskId, this call is ignored and task details are not excluded. Value may only be true, as false is the default behavior.

​
initial
boolean

Restrict to historic variable updates that contain only initial variable values. Value may only be true, as false is the default behavior.

​
occurredBefore
string<date-time>

Restrict to historic details that occured before the given date (including the date). Default format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ, e.g., 2013-01-23T14:42:45.000+0200.

​
occurredAfter
string<date-time>

Restrict to historic details that occured after the given date (including the date). Default format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ, e.g., 2013-01-23T14:42:45.000+0200.

​
sortBy
enum<string>

Sort the results lexicographically by a given criterion. Must be used in conjunction with the sortOrder parameter.

Available options:
processInstanceId,
variableName,
variableType,
variableRevision,
formPropertyId,
time,
occurrence,
tenantId
​
sortOrder
enum<string>

Sort the results in a given order. Values may be asc for ascending order or desc for descending order. Must be used in conjunction with the sortBy parameter.

Available options:
asc,
desc
​
firstResult
integer

Pagination of results. Specifies the index of the first result to return.

​
maxResults
integer

Pagination of results. Specifies the maximum number of results to return. Will return less results if there are no more results left.

​
deserializeValues
boolean

Determines whether serializable variable values (typically variables that store custom Java objects) should be deserialized on server side (default true).

If set to true, a serializable variable will be deserialized on server side and transformed to JSON using Jackson's POJO/bean property introspection feature. Note that this requires the Java classes of the variable value to be on the REST API's classpath.

If set to false, a serializable variable will be returned in its serialized format. For example, a variable that is serialized as XML will be returned as a JSON string containing XML.

Note: While true is the default value for reasons of backward compatibility, we recommend setting this parameter to false when developing web applications that are independent of the Java process applications deployed to the engine.
