title: Is it possible to use GetListItems to perform a query to retrieve a specific item from a sharepoint list using SPServices?
body: <p>I'm wondering if it is possible to use GetListItems to query a list using a specific value and to return only the line(s) that match that query ?</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I can use GetListItems to retrieve all the items in a list, or all the items in a specific view but I can't filter any further.</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate that I can just perform the query on the set of items returned but was wondering if its possible (and perhaps faster) to have sharepoint perform the query for me.</p>
  
  <p>In the yoursharepoint/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?op=GetListItems page I see,</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;query&gt;
      &lt;xsd:schema&gt;schema&lt;/xsd:schema&gt;xml&lt;/query&gt;
    &lt;viewFields&gt;
      &lt;xsd:schema&gt;schema&lt;/xsd:schema&gt;xml&lt;/viewFields&gt;
    &lt;rowLimit&gt;string&lt;/rowLimit&gt;
    &lt;queryOptions&gt;
      &lt;xsd:schema&gt;schema&lt;/xsd:schema&gt;xml&lt;/queryOptions&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But don't know how/if these parameters can be used.</p>
