### Overview

Lists items from a datastore. You can filter the results by specifying either an item key or a filter query parameter, but not both at the same time. Supports server-side pagination for large datasets. This endpoint requires the `apps_datastore_read` permission.

### Arguments

#### Path Parameters

| Name                           | Type   | Description                                         |
| ------------------------------ | ------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| datastore_id [*required*] | string | The unique identifier of the datastore to retrieve. |

#### Query Strings

| Name         | Type    | Description                                                                                                                      |
| ------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| filter       | string  | Optional query filter to search items using the [logs search syntax](https://docs.datadoghq.com/logs/explorer/search_syntax.md). |
| item_key     | string  | Optional primary key value to retrieve a specific item. Cannot be used together with the filter parameter.                       |
| page[limit]  | integer | Optional field to limit the number of items to return per page for pagination. Up to 100 items can be returned per page.         |
| page[offset] | integer | Optional field to offset the number of items to skip from the beginning of the result set for pagination.                        |
| sort         | string  | Optional field to sort results by. Prefix with '-' for descending order (e.g., '-created_at').                                   |
