| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
obj_ids[] | repeated ObjID | Objects. |
obj_ids[].type | int32 | The object type ID, for example 0 for documents. In a lookup value, the value list ID (for a lookup to objects, the object type ID). |
obj_ids[].item_id | ItemID | The ID of the object within its type, in item_id.internal_id. |
obj_ids[].item_id.internal_id | int32 | The ID of the object or value list item. |
obj_ids[].item_id.external_repository_id | ExternalRepositoryID | Used only for objects in external repositories (external connectors). Leave it unset for objects stored in the vault. |

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ext_object_infos[] | repeated ExtObjectInfo | Results. |
ext_object_infos[].is_visible | bool | True if any version of the object is visible to the caller. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info | ObjectLevelInfo | Object-level information, if is_visible is true. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.obj_id | ObjID | The object type and ID of the object. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.external_id_status | ExtIDStatus | The status of this object's external ID.Values: EXT_IDSTATUS_UNKNOWN (0), EXT_IDSTATUS_EXTERNAL (1), EXT_IDSTATUS_INTERNAL (2), EXT_IDSTATUS_DISCARDED (3), EXT_IDSTATUS_NOT_AVAILABLE (4), EXT_IDSTATUS_EXTERNAL_REDUCED (5). |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.external_id | string | The external ID (display ID) of this object. unset means that the external ID is the same as the internal ID. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.checked_out_version | ObjVerVersion | The version that is checked out. Version number 0 if the object is not checked out. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.checked_out_to_user_id | int32 | The ID of the user who has the object checked out. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.checked_out_to_user_name | string | The user name of the user who has the object checked out. |

ext_object_infos[].object_info.accessed_by_me_utc | google.protobuf.Timestamp | Accessed by me timestamp. Parallel operations may cause slight inconsistencies in the returned timestamp in rare cases and the precise value shouldn't be relied upon. The observed timestamp may even roll back. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.guid | string | The object GUID, in braces. The same value as GetObjectGUID returns. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.options | ITEMFLAGS | Bit flags that provide additional information on the object (e.g. is the object deleted or a stub). |

ext_object_infos[].object_info.original_vault_obj_id | ObjID | The original objid in the vault in which the object was originally created. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.associated_view_id | ItemID | Identifies the view associated with this object if any. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.external_repository_icon_id | string | If not null, identifies the icon of the object. Currently applicable only to unmanaged objects. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.primary_view_id | ItemID | If not null, identifies the primary view of the object that is also the default opening location of the object. Currently applicable only to unmanaged objects. |
ext_object_infos[].object_info.capabilities | OBJECTCAPABILITYFLAGS | Bit flags that provide information on the object capabilities. |
ext_object_infos[].is_latest_version_visible | bool | True if the latest version of the object is visible to the caller. |
