Get Records that Match Filter​

However, you may not have the recordId available, and instead need to query for records that match a specific filter. This will return an array of records:

//Query records with plain text data format
const response = await web5.dwn.records.query({
  message: {
    filter: {
      dataFormat: "text/plain",
    },
  },
});

// Loop through returned records and print text from each
response.records.forEach(async (record) => {
  console.log(await record.data.text());
});
