Filtering
The ServiceM8 API supports filtering of results by providing $filter option as part of a GET query request: $filter=FIELD OPERATOR 'VALUE'
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| FIELD | A valid field name for the current endpoint/record |
| OPERATOR | The type of comparison/operator |
| VALUE | The value to search for / compare against |
URL want to get this right
Ensure that your filter statement is URL-encoded (see examples below), otherwise the API will return all records with no filtering applied.
Operators
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| eq | Equal |
| ne | Not Equal |
| gt | Greater Than |
| lt | Less Than |
Examples
All Job records for a single client
$filter is company_uuid eq ‘10420f98-7626-4405-bf43-043f1036623b’
curl -u email:password "https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/job.json?%24filter=company_uuid%20eq%20'10420f98-7626-4405-bf43-043f1036623b'"
All Jobs where invoiced amount was greater than $1000.00
$filter is total_invoice_amount gt ‘1000.00’
curl -u email:password "https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/job.json?%24filter=total_invoice_amount%20gt%20'1000.00'"
One at a time, please
The ServiceM8 API supports only a single filter parameter per request. If you need more specific filtering, choose your filter such that you get the smallest number of records that is practical, then inspect the results in your application and discard any that do not match your requirements.
