Generic Query Parameters
Many GET methods which return a list of objects support generic query parameters for ltering, sorting, and pagination. These
methods are indicated in the API reference section but the detailed syntax is described here.
• lter=<operator>,<valid lter column>,<value>,<value2>…
• operator is one of ( eq, co )
• where valid lter columns are listed for each supporting method in the API reference
• Examples:
– "eq,columnName,columnValue"
To include resources where columnName is columnValue.
– "eq,columnName,columnValue,columnValue2[,columnValue3…]"
To include resources where columnName is columnValue OR columnValue2.
– "eq,columnName,"
To include resources where columnName is empty.
– "eq,columnName,,columnValue[,columnValue2…]"
To include resources where columnName is empty OR columnValue.
– "co,columnName,columnValue"
To include resources where columnName contains columnValue:
• sort=[-]<valid sort column>, where valid sort columns are listed for each supporting method in the API reference and a minus
sign preceding the column name indicates descending order
• oset= <integer> default is 0
• limit= <integer> default is 50
Dates in query strings
Some of the columns that are sortable or lterable are dates such as createdDate. When using the lter parameter with date strings,
only the eq operator is valid. The format for these date strings is:
dd-MM-yyyy
example: 30-07-2015
