The next Kintone update is 12th October 2018. The release also includes the following spec change.

Kintone REST API

Spec changes

• When using the query parameter for the Get Records Endpoint, additional escape characters need to be included when specifying a sequence of a backslash (\) followed by a double quote ("). This combination is commonly used when escaping a double quote inside of a string.

  • This applies to the following fields:

    • Check box
    • Radio Button
    • Drop-down
    • Multi-choice
    • Status

  • This will specifically affect users who keep values inside these fields in an escaped format, such as:

    1	sample\"1\"

  • Before the update, each of the special characters used in the escape sequence would need to be escaped, so for the example above, you would pass this in the request:

    1	sample\\\"1\\\"

  • After the update, the escape characters must also be escaped, so for the example above, you would pass this in the request:

    1	sample\\\\\\\"1\\\\\\\"\

  • Example
    An example request body for retrieving record data from an App with ID 1, with a checkbox including the value of sample\"1\" is as follows:

    • Before the Update

      1 2 3 4

      { "app": 1, "query": "checkbox in (\"sample\\\"1\\\"\")" }

    • After the Update

      1 2 3 4

      { "app": 1, "query": "checkbox in (\"sample\\\\\\\"1\\\\\\\"\")" }
