Usage info

This method is only available for workflow apps.

Refer to Datastores for more information.

This method is used to get a datastore item. The following example would get an item with "4" as its primary key.

	{
		"datastore": "good_tunes",
		"id": "4"
	}

When you query for an item in a datastore and that item does not exist, you will receive a successful, empty response:

	{
		ok: true,
		item: {}
	}

If you want to check whether a datastore item exists, first query the datastore, then check if the returned item property is empty. If it is, the item was not found.
