# Validation
## Returns the validation results matching the given search criteria.
> Returns the validation results matching the given search criteria. Only parameters that are specified in this request and have not \null\ values are used for filtering. All other parameters are ignored. The returned validation results satisfy all constraints that are specified in this search criteria. By default a result containing at most 1000 validation results is returned.
