Retrieve list of fields belong to record type using api.

Hi,

I want to retrieve list of fields belong to record type.
Is there any way to retrieve this information using any Salesforce api.
Please suggest.

There is an object RecordType and you can use it for retrieving the fields of record type.

See the following link:

@Sumit: Thanks for reply.
I think my question is not correctly defined.
I wanted to know the relationship between Standard object fields and their record types.
For example:
Field: Account -> AccountName
RecordType: Account -> BusinessAccount

Is there any way to get this relationship via api.

The record type object contains the data about the record type along with the name of the object.

The field "SobjectType" tells you the name of the object like Account, Contact, Cases, etc and the field "Name" tells you the name of the record type.

So you can get the desired information from the record type object.

Hope this helps.

@Sumit: Yes, it is correct.
But I want to see the direct relationship between record types and fields.
For example:
I've a field named AccountName in Account table and Record types as BussinessAccount and PersonAccount.
This field is read only for PersonAccount but in BusinessAccount it is createable and updateable.
How can I get these details from record type and field relationship.
Please suggest.

I am doing an analysis on a very large org and am wondering if there is a way to get a list/grid of which fields are used for each individual record type? List of where each field is used (on list views or page layouts, in reports, process builders, workflows, profiles....)?
