Please note:
The above listed fields are not mandatory for the query execution, i.e. you can send a request with empty OrFIlter and AndFilter
The request is case sensitive, i.e. if you use "UNIT" instead of "unit" as a filter, the field will be ignored
The values of the filter fields are case sensitive, i.e. if you search for "questionType" : "PUBLIC consultation" instead of "Public consultation" you will not find the questions matching the desired question type
You can use % wildcard, for example you can type "activity" : "Activity 3%" instead of "activity" : "Activity 3 Data Collection"
Do not use unneeded blank spaces neither in the filter fields nor in the values (for example "applicant " : " EFSA"). They could make the filter ignored or cause a validation error
Use 'true' value for "paginated" parameter; if "paginated" is set to false, the request will not be processed. "pageSize" can not be higher than 100
AND and OR filter shall be used separately. Usage of AND and OR filter is exemplified below
{
"paginated" : true,
"pageSize" : 10,
"pageNum" : 1,
"OrFilter" : { "unit" : "ALPHA",
"status" : "INPROGRESS"
}
}
it returns all questions belonging to APLHA unit plus all questions in status INPROGRESS (even if they belong to other units)
{
"paginated" : true,
"pageSize" : 10,
"pageNum" : 1,
"AndFilter" : { "unit" : "ALPHA",
"status" : "INPROGRESS"
}
}
it returns only questions belonging to APLHA unit in status INPROGRESS
