Query Parameters

Query parameters are used to search inside or aggregate values inside resource collections, e. g. GET /api/v2/Payment/Transactions?....

The values must be URL encoded.

Nested properties are addressed by joining the component names with dots, e. g. merchant.id.


Name

Type

Description

Sample

Response

count

integer

The maximum number of items to return

count=10


offset

integer

The position within the whole result set to start returning items (zero-based).

offset=80


fields

string

List of properties included in the result, all others will be filtered out.

fields=contact.surname

fields=id,contact.surname


q

string

A query string to restrict the returned items to given conditions. The query string must consist of any combination of single expressions in the form property:condition. A condition may contain:

  • wildcard * for any number of characters,

  • wildcard ? for one character,

  • ranges in the form [value TO value],

  • Single expressions may be combined by AND, OR, NOT operators and parenthesis (...) for grouping.

For date fields it's also possible to use intervals with specific dates and dynamic date calculation.

images/s/pn3eat/9012/m4ydwl/_/images/icons/emoticons/warning.svg If you specify dates, f.e. 2022-12-31T23:59:59+01:00 you need to encode the + character as %2B, otherwise it will be interpreted as white space (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP). If you are using UTC (+00:00) you could also use Z to avoid this: 2022-12-31T23:59:59Z (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators)

scroll_expire

string

While a search request returns a single page of results, the scroll can be used to retrieve large numbers of results (or even all results) from a single search request, in much the same way as you would use a cursor on a traditional database.

This parameter enables this feature and defines how long it should keep the “search context” alive.

scroll_expire=10m

{
"scroll_id": "DXF1ZXJ5QW5kRmV0Y2gBAAAAAAAAAD4WYm9laVYtZndUQlNsdDcwakFMNjU1QQ==",
"count": 1,
"data": []
}

scroll_id

string

Identifier of the previous search context

scroll_id=DXF1ZXJ5QW5kRmV0Y2gBAAAAAAAAAD4WYm9laVYtZndUQlNsdDcwakFMNjU1QQ==

expand=merchant
