Commands: Querying: How to work with Facet query?

There are two methods that allow you to send a Facet query to a database:
- GetFacets
- GetMultiFacets

GetFacets

There are few overloads for the GetFacets method and the main difference between them is a source of the facets. In one facets are passed as a parameter, in the other user must provide a key to a facet setup document.

Syntax

		&facetDoc={facetSetupDoc} \
		&facetStart={start} \
		&facetPageSize={pageSize} \
		&facets={facets}
		[Other indexQuery parameters] \
	-X GET 
 
curl \
	http://{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/facets/{indexName}? \
