Introduction
A lot of REST/API endpoints for a GET on multiple entries have the ability to filter on the returned entries.
The filter always exists with one or more fields to filter on, e.g. field = value.
Usage
Expression | Filter to supply |
|---|---|
field = value | field[eq]:value |
field <> value | field[nq]:value |
field <= value | field[le]:value |
field >= value | field[ge]:value |
field like value | field[like]:value |
field ilike value | field[ilike]:value |
field = "value with colon : or comma , " | Surround value with double quotes field[eq]:"value:," |
field = <empty> | Supply value as two double quotes field[eg]:"" |
field1=value or field2=value | Separate two filters with comma and minus field1[eq]:value,-field2[eq]:value |
field1=value and field2=value | Seperate two filters with comma field1[eq]:value,field2[eq]:value |
(field1=value1 or field2=vlaue1) | Use brackets (field1[eq]:value,field2[eq]:value) |
field1 is null | field1[eq]:null NOTE: no quotes |
field 1 niet null | field1[nq]:null NOTE: no quotes |
field1 >= date | created_date[ge]:"2020-06-22" |
field1>= date + time | modified_date[ge]:"2020-06-24T16:00.00" |
