==== Authorization

You must have `monitor_ml`, `monitor`, `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster

that stores the results. The `machine_learning_admin` and `machine_learning_user`
roles provide these privileges. For more information, see
{xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges] and
{xpack-ref}/built-in-roles.html[Built-in Roles].
//<<security-privileges>> and <<built-in-roles>>.


==== Examples

The following example gets record information for the `it-ops-kpi` job:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/it-ops-kpi/results/records
{
  "sort": "record_score",
  "desc": true,
  "start": "1454944100000"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[skip:todo]

In this example, the API returns twelve results for the specified
time constraints:
