Filtering data
How to add filters to your requests
When you fetch a collection of resources, you can add filters to further refine the results, using the filter[q]
query parameter.
Filters can be combined according to an "AND" logic to send requests that fetch collections of resources meeting all the criteria within a set of multiple filters (see example).
Each single filter query is built like this:
Here, value
stands for the value that the fetched resources have to match, while the predicate
parameter has this format:
Where attributes
is a set of one or more attributes and matcher
represents the condition to be met by the query.
Attributes can be combined according to an OR
logic and can belong to either the fetched resource or to one of its relationships (see example).

In case of comma-separated sets of values (e.g. *_in
, *_matches_all
, *_start_any
etc.), pay attention to avoid whitespaces before or after each comma.
Predicates commonly used to filter by string attributes (e.g. *_cont
, *_start
, etc.) don't work when trying to filter by ID.
Filterable fields
Please note that if you try to filter a collection of resources by a non-filterable field you don't get any error from the API which will respond with a 200 OK
status code, returning the full unfiltered list.
Examples
Combining filters
The following request fetches a collection of SKUs that have been created within a specific time range:
Combining filters and attributes
The following request fetches a collection of orders that have been created or updated after a specific date and that haven't been paid yet:
When combining attribute make sure not to mix types (e.g. string and integer).
Using filters that belong to a resource relationship
The following request fetches a collection of SKUs whose name, code, or shipping category name starts with the string "TSHIRT" (as mentioned above, the attributeshipping_category_name
here belongs to a relationship and filters the list of SKUs by the name of the associated shipping category):
*_blank
and *_present
predicates don't work when filtering on related resources fields (e.g. you cannot check the existence of a relationship using/api/customers?filter[q][customer_group_id_present]=true
). You can use *_null
and *_not_null
instead.
Filtering related resources
The following request fetches the list of orders placed by a certain customer after a specific date:
The following request fetches the list of line items of type skus
associated with a specific order:
