Lists2 gotchas
listsAllClose Smart Views are always dynamic saved queries; filter_criteria carries Close's structured s_query definition, falling back to the older query field for saved searches created before Close's structured-search migration. record_count, folder_id, created_by/updated_by, the favorite/default/system flags, custom_fields, and tags are not available. visibility derives from is_shared, and owner_id reflects the saved search's user_id; every saved search observed in testing (shared and private alike) had a user_id, so whether owner_id is ever genuinely null for organization-wide views has not been confirmed against a real account. The list operation only returns saved searches of type lead, contact, or opportunity; saved searches of other types (call, email, sms, meeting, note, whatsapp_message, custom_activity, form_submission) are excluded from the list but remain retrievable by id, with object_type set to the raw Close type. Close's saved-search endpoint ignores server-side offsets, so results are fetched as a single page (up to Close's undeclared server default of around 100 smart views) and paginated virtually; accounts with more than that many smart views will have the overflow silently dropped, with no field in the response indicating truncation occurred.
