Rally Pull Defect Suite from workspace - rally

Question

i got the code snippet of adding a defect to defect suite from forums.
However, my requirement is to pull defect from defect suite and i am not aware of defect suite information.
Is there a way to pull collection of defect suites and defects from it.
Here is the sample code snippet to add defect to defect suite.

The Defect object has a DefectSuites collection, so you could just query for all defects where DefectSuites contains your specified DefectSuite:
QueryRequest defectsRequest = new QueryRequest("Defect");
defectsRequest.setFetch(new Fetch("FormattedID","Name"));
defectsRequest.setQueryFilter(new QueryFilter("DefectSuites", "contains", defectSuiteRef));
QueryResponse defectsResponse = restApi.query(defectsRequest);
Or, you can come at it from the other way by querying the Defects collection directly on your DefectSuite in your original code above:
JsonObject defectsCollection = defectSuiteJsonObject.getAsJsonObject("Defects");
QueryRequest defectsRequest = new QueryRequest(defectsCollection);
defectSuiteRequest.setFetch(new Fetch("FormattedID","Name"));
QueryResponse defectsResponse = restApi.query(defectsRequest);
