Fields

Choose fields to return, filter, or sort. Expand a field for examples and associated fields. Collections can only be returned on the top-level resource, not inside an associated resource.

Default response fields are returned until you select specific fields.

Add and edit filters and sorting in field details. Examples illustrate the response shape, not matching records.

Search matches the start of a field path and includes matching associations’ subfields. Use a dotted path to search within a specific association.

Query syntax

Return selected fields with a comma-separated fields parameter, or add a field to the defaults with fields=default,{field}. Expand an association above for its supported subfields and selection examples.

Filter with filter.{operator}[{field}]=value. Multiple filters combine with AND. Use comma-separated values for in and not_in, two inclusive bounds for between, and true for empty and not_empty.

Sort with sort.asc={field} or sort.desc={field}. Explicit sorting limits results to 1,000 records. Omit sorting to retrieve all results in descending ID order.

Set the page size with per_page. Follow pagination.next_url while pagination.has_more is true.

Filter operators

eq equals; not_eq does not equal; contains contains text; starts_with starts with text (both case-insensitive).

gt greater than; gte greater than or equal; lt less than; lte less than or equal.

in matches any listed value; not_in excludes listed values; between matches an inclusive range; empty and not_empty check for an absent or present value.

See field selection, filtering, and pagination and sorting limits for details.
