Welcome to the Advanced Querying API guide. This section provides detailed information on how to perform advanced queries using our API. Whether you are a developer or a user looking to enhance your experience with our service, this guide will help you understand the capabilities and usage of our advanced querying features.
Overview
Advanced querying allows you to filter, sort, and manipulate data with greater precision. By using various parameters and operators, you can retrieve the exact information you need from our database.
Key Features
- Filtering: Use specific criteria to narrow down your search results.
- Sorting: Order your results based on different fields and criteria.
- Pagination: Retrieve data in chunks to manage large datasets efficiently.
Usage
To perform an advanced query, you need to append the appropriate parameters to your API request URL. Here's an example:
GET /api/v1/data?filter=name:John&sort=age:desc
In this example, the query filters results by the name "John" and sorts them by age in descending order.
Parameters
The following parameters can be used to construct advanced queries:
- filter: Apply filtering criteria to your results. Use the format
field:operator:value. - sort: Specify the sorting order for your results. Use the format
field:order. - limit: Limit the number of results returned. Use the format
limit:value. - offset: Skip a certain number of results. Use the format
offset:value.
Examples
Example 1: Filter by name and age
GET /api/v1/data?filter=name:John&filter=age:>=18
This query will return data for users named "John" who are 18 years old or older.
Example 2: Sort by email and limit results
GET /api/v1/data?sort=email:asc&limit=10
This query will return the first 10 users sorted by their email addresses in ascending order.
