# Get the objects using an object - for multiple specified objects at once

`POST /gdc/md/{project_id}/using2/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com`
- URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/md/{project_id}/using2/`
- Auth: none declared

In the request body:

* Specify objects by their URIs. For each specified object, this API returns a list of objects that use this object.
For example, you can specify one or more attributes. For each specified attribute, the API will return the objects (such as reports, metrics, attribute filters and so on) that use this attribute.

* The `types` array is optional and lets you narrow down the list of returned objects to the objects of the specified types only.

  **Examples:** `dashboard`, `metric`, `report`, `folder`, `userFilter`, `scheduledMail`


* `nearest` is an optional Boolean parameter that specifies whether to return only the objects that use the specified object directly.

  **Default:** 0
