Query

When a SOQL query is executed, up to 2,000 records can be returned at a time in a synchronous request. However, to optimize performance, the returned batch can include fewer records than the limit or what's set in the request, based on the size and complexity of records queried. If the total number of results exceeds the limit or the requested number of results, the response contains the first batch of records, a false value for done, and a query locator. You can use the query locator with the Query More Results resource to retrieve the next batch of records.

The response contains the total number of records returned by the Query request (totalSize), a boolean indicating whether there are no more results (done), the URI of the next set of records (nextRecordsUrl), and an array of query result records (records).
