# Get Records With a Request Body Using sObject Collections

Use a POST request with sObject Collections to get one or more records of the same object type. A list of sObjects that represents the individual records of the specified type is returned. The number of sObjects returned matches the number of IDs passed in the request.

The request retrieves up to 2,000 records of the same object type

-   If you specify an invalid field name or a field name that you don’t have permission to read, `HTTP 400 Bad Request` is returned.
-   If you don’t have access to an object, or if a passed ID is invalid, the array returns null for that object.

**note:** The [sObject Blob Retrieve](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/api-rest/guide/resources-sobject-blob-retrieve.md) resource isn’t compatible with Composite API requests, because it returns binary data instead of data in JSON or XML formats. Instead, make individual sObject Blob Retrieve requests to retrieve blob data.

## Syntax

**URI:** `/services/data/vXX.X/composite/sobjects/sObject`

**Formats:** JSON, XML

**HTTP Method:** POST

**Authentication:** `Authorization: Bearer token`
