# GetEntityTypes
<a name="API_GetEntityTypes"></a>

Gets all entity types or a specific entity type if a name is specified. This is a paginated API. If you provide a null `maxResults`, this action retrieves a maximum of 10 records per page. If you provide a `maxResults`, the value must be between 5 and 10. To get the next page results, provide the pagination token from the `GetEntityTypesResponse` as part of your request. A null pagination token fetches the records from the beginning.
