GET /api/v3/search

Searches for Accounts, Meters, Cost Centers, Places, Place Groups, Emissions Sources, Collections, Vendors, and Bills matching a free-text query

GetSearchResultV3
Use this endpoint for global search across all major entity types. Results are grouped by entity type and limited per group. Supports faceted search by prefixing the query with an entity type and colon (e.g., “accountId:123” to locate a specific entity by ID). For bill search, the query text must be an exact match to a bill ID. For performance reasons, not all properties on child objects are populated unless searching by ID.
