Objects can be queried using the available query arguments, allowing developers to easily search large amounts using the API.
Query arguments are applied in the following order: where, sort, skip, limit
Query Arguments
| Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| where | Accepts A JSON object containing operators and expressions used to limit the search results. | where={“$and”: [{“created”: {“$gt”: “2015-01-01T00:00:00.000Z”}}, {“created”: {“$lt”: “2015-06-01T00:00:00.000Z”}}}][{“created”: {“$gt”: “2015-01-01T00:00:00.000Z”}}, {“created”: {“$lt”: “2015-06-01T00:00:00.000Z”}}] |
| sort | Used to sort results, can be an indexed property name or a named grouping (when group is used). Also accepts a JSON object containing one or more properties, the values of which must be 1 for ascending and -1 for descending. | sort=posts or sort={“posts”: 1, “_id”: 1} |
| skip | An integer representing the number of results to skip. Useful for paging where mapping or groupings have been applied, or where search the search criteria cannot be paged using unique fields. | skip=100 |
| limit | An integer representing the number of results to return. | limit=20 |
