# GetExampleRecord

Returns an example record for a specified output track of a specified analysis engine. Media Server returns an example in XML format and a Lua representation of the record.

Type: synchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`EngineType` | The analysis engine to return an example record for. This parameter accepts the same values as the Type configuration parameter. If you omit this parameter, Media Server returns examples for all analysis engines. | No
`Track` | The name of the output track to return an example record for. If you omit this parameter, Media Server returns examples for each track. | No

## Example

The following example returns an example record for the `Result` track of a `FaceDetect` analysis engine:

    http://localhost:14000/action=GetExampleRecord&EngineType=FaceDetect&Track=Result

Media Server includes an XSL template that you can apply to the response, to make it easier to read:

    http://localhost:14000/action=GetExampleRecord&EngineType=FaceDetect
                                                  &Track=Result
                                                  &Template=getExampleRecord

If you omit the `EngineType` and `Track` parameters, Media Server returns an example for each track of each analysis engine:

    http://localhost:14000/action=GetExampleRecord

## Response

The following is a sample response from the action:

    http://localhost:14000/action=GetExampleRecord&EngineType=Keyframe&Track=Result
