# Search Machine Details

`POST /api/v2/Entities/MachineDetails/search`

Search for machine details in your environment. Get details such as the machine ID, host name of the machine, domain associated with the machine, kernel type of the machine, and other machine statistics by invoking the following endpoint:

  > `POST https://YourAccount.lacework.net/api/v2/Entities/MachineDetails/search` 

 Machine details are available only for machines that were online for the specified time frame. Details for machines that were not online are not available. 

 FortiCNAPP highly recommends specifying a time range. Without a specified time range, the request uses the default time range of 24 hours prior to the current time. The maximum time range per API request is 7 days. To use the current time as the end time, exclude the endTime field. 

 You can optionally filter the returned machines by machine ID, host name, domain, os, os version, and more. For more information, see [MACHINE_DETAILS_V View](https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticnapp/latest/administration-guide/906955/machine-details-v-view). 

 Here are some example `body` payloads: 
 * `{ "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"}}`
 * `{ "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"},` 
 `"filters": [ { "field": "mid", "expression": "eq", "value": "12345" } ] }` 
 * `{ "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"},`
 `"filters": [ { "field": "mid", "expression": "eq", "value": "12345" }, { "field": "tags.AmiId", "expression": "eq", "value": "ami-0b83c6233cdbe5c3e" } ],`  
 `"returns": [ "hostname", "mid", "awsInstanceId", "awsZone", "tags" ] }` 


 Within request bodies, nested field names that contain one or more special characters—e.g., dot ("."), colon (":"), or slash ("/")—must be enclosed in **escaped double quotes**. For example, the field name `spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy` nested under the `tags` field would be rendered as follows: 

 `"tags.\"spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy\""` 

 In a filter, the example would appear as follows: 

 `{ "field": "tags.\"spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy\"", "expression": "eq", "value": "spotinst" }` 

 In addition, forward slash characters within field names must be escaped with a backslash, as in the following example: 

 `"tags.\"kubernetes.io\/cluster\/prod1\""`
