SearchHITs

Description

The SearchHITs operation returns all of a Requester's HITs, on behalf of the Requester.

The operation returns HITs of any status, except for HITs that have been disposed of with the DisposeHIT operation or that have been auto-disposed.

Note

The SearchHITs operation does not accept any search parameters that filter the results.

HITs are auto-disposed after 120 days and do not appear in SearchHITs responses after that time.

The operation sorts the results and divides them into numbered pages. The operation returns a single page of results. You can control sorting and pagination with parameters to the operation.

When (PageNumber x PageSize) is less than 100, you can get reliable results when you use any of the sort properties. If this number is greater than 100, use the Enumeration sort property for best results. The Enumeration sort property guarantees that all HITs are returned with no duplicates, but not in any specific order.
