{{LuaApi|group=Social}}
Asks the server for the open parties and warbands near the player.

<pre>
SendOpenPartySearchRequest(requestType)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;requestType : <code>number</code> – A <code>GameData.OpenPartyRequestType</code> value. The stock UI uses <code>ALL</code> for the full list and <code>ALL_BRIEF</code> when the player enters a new influence area. Sent as an 8-bit value.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The detailed results are read with [[API:GetOpenPartyFullList|GetOpenPartyFullList]]; the stock UI rebuilds its list when <code>SystemData.Events.SOCIAL_OPENPARTY_UPDATED</code> fires.
* If there is no player object, or the Lua state is not available, nothing is sent.

== Errors ==
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when the argument is missing or not a number.

== Example ==
From <code>default/ea_openpartywindow/source/openpartywindowtabnearby.lua</code>:
<pre>
function EA_Window_OpenPartyNearby.RequestUpdateFullList()
if (EA_Window_OpenPartyNearby.RequestDelay == 0)
then
SendOpenPartySearchRequest( GameData.OpenPartyRequestType.ALL )
EA_Window_OpenPartyNearby.RequestDelay = EA_Window_OpenPartyNearby.REFRESH_DELAY_TIMER
end
end
</pre>
