# Filtering & Sorting

# Filtering

Endpoints that return an enumeration of items and are marked with Paginated can usually be filtered by adding query parameters to the request body. The following query parameters are supported:

Parameter	Description
`search`	Search for items that contain the specified string in their name or description
`filter`	An ordered dictionary that contains the fields to filter by as keys and the value to filter for as the value.

Note

The specific fields that are searched for the search parameter depend on the endpoint. Further information can be found in the documentation for the specific endpoint.
The specific fields that can be used for the filter parameter depend on the endpoint. Further information can be found in the documentation for the specific endpoint.
The keys in the filter parameter must be unique. Using the same key multiple times may lead to unexpected results.
The keys in the filter parameter are case-sensitive.
The values in the filter must always be a string.

# Sorting

Endpoints that return an enumeration of items and are marked with Paginated can usually be sorted by adding query parameters to the request body. The following query parameters are supported:

Parameter	Description
`sort`	An ordered dictionary that contains the fields to order by as keys and the direction as the value

The direction can be either asc or desc.

Note

The specific fields that can be used for the sort parameter depend on the endpoint. Further information can be found in the documentation for the specific endpoint.
The keys in the sort parameter must be unique. Using the same key multiple times may lead to unexpected results.
The keys in the sort parameter are case-sensitive.
