Available REST filters

limiting no of documents in results

1. Use filter as offset=1&limit=10. This will return initial 10 documents.
2. Use offset=15&limit=10 to get 15 to 25 documents (total 10 documents).
3. TODO - Use limit=-1 to get all the documents. USE OF THIS IS DISCOURAGED AND MAY HAVE PERFORMANCE IMPACTS.
4. TODO - Use offset=15&limit=-1 to get all the documents leaving initial 15 documents. USE OF THIS IS DISCOURAGED AND MAY HAVE PERFORMANCE IMPACTS.
5. if offset and limit are not passed as url query parameters, by default it will restrict and return initial 20 documents.

selecting specific attributes from document

1. Use filter as select=col1,col2. This will return col1 and col2 in result.

available results filters

• equal

  1. Use filter as col__e=10. This will return all the results where col=10. ex: name__e=NAME1

• not equals

  1. Use filter as col__ne=10. This will return all the results where col!=10. ex: age__ne=10

• greater than

  1. Use filter as col__gt=10. This will return all the results where col>10. ex: date__gt=2013-12-18

• greater than and equals to

  1. Use filter as col__gte=10. This will return all the results where col>=10. ex: date__gte=2013-12-18

• less than

  1. Use filter as col__lt=10. This will return all the results where col<10. ex: date__lt=2013-12-18

• less than and equals to

  1. Use filter as col__lte=10. This will return all the results where col<=10. ex: date__lte=2013-12-18

• in

  1. Use filter as col__in=NAME1,NAME2. This will return all the results where col in ("NAME1","NAME2"). ex: name__in=NAME1,NAME2

• not in

  1. Use filter as col__nin=NAME1,NAME2. This will return all the results where col not in ("NAME1","NAME2"). ex: name__nin=NAME1,NAME2

• alll

• regex

  1. Use filter as col__regex=/.*/. This will return all the documents where sepcific column data matches agains mentioned regular expression.

• type

  1. Use filter as col__type=1. This will return all the results where type(col)=value. ex: date__type=9

| data type | data type value | | --------------------- |----------------:| | double | 1 | | string | 2 | | object | 3 | | array | 4 | | binary_data | 5 | | object_id | 7 | | boolean | 8 | | date | 9 | | null | 10 | | regular_expression | 11 | | javascript | 13 | | symbol | 14 | | javascript_with_scope | 15 | | 32_bit_integer | 16 | | timestamp | 17 | | 64_bit_integer | 18 | | min_key | 255 | | max_key | 127 |
