}

In the Sample Request URL, I need to determine what to type into the "selectStatement".

I have found additional documentation here:

Answer 1

You have an example of what to put for selectStatement in your post:

select * from Account where Metadata.CreateTime > '2014-12-31'

e.g.:

/v3/company/<clientID>/query?query=select * from Account where Metadata.CreateTime > '2014-12-31'&minorversion=59
