Though not displayed in the view, a partial ticket object is included with each row object.\n\n**Note**: To get the full ticket objects for a specified view, use [List Tickets from a View](#list-tickets-from-a-view).\n\nThis endpoint is rate limited to 5 requests per minute, per view, per agent.\n\nThe view execution system is designed for periodic rather than high-frequency API usage. In particular, views called very frequently may be cached by Zendesk. This means that the API client will still receive a result, but that result may have been computed at any time within the last 10 minutes.\n\nZendesk recommends using the Incremental Ticket Export endpoint to get the latest changes. You can call it more often, and it returns all the tickets that changed since the last poll. For details and rate limits, see [Incremental Exports](/api-reference/ticketing/ticket-management/incremental_exports/).\n\nView output sorting can be controlled by passing the `sort_by` and `sort_order` parameters in the format described in the table in [Preview Views](#preview-views).\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n* Agents\n"
