Data Storage Elements: Overview of Methods

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Data storage elements hold application information. They can store core fields, property values, and links to sections.

The group of methods entity.item.* allows you to create elements, retrieve their list, modify parameters, and delete unnecessary ones.
