Pagination

By default, the results will be paginated in pages of 10 results. To change the amount of results per page (the limit) or the amount of records to skip (the skip) you would add additional URL parameters, beginning with a $ (or %24 when URL encoded)

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?$limit=2&$skip=6"

or

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?%24limit=2&%24skip=6"

This will grab two records starting on the 7th record.

Sorting

You can also sort the records by one of the field names by using the following format:

$sort[CreatedOn]=asc (or when URL encoded: %24sort%5BCreatedOn%5D=asc)

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?$sort[CreatedOn]=asc"

or

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?%24sort%5BCreatedOn%5D=asc"

You can either use "asc" or "desc" for the direction of the sort.

Filtering Results

If you wish to restrict to multiple values you can use the special term "$in" or "$nin" (not in) like so:

 Display_Name[$in][]=A&Display_Name[$in][]=I,B&Display_Name[$in][]=R

For example:

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?Display_Name[$in][]=A&Display_Name[$in][]=I,B&Display_Name[$in][]=R"

or

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?Display_Name%5B%24in%5D%5B%5D=A&Display_Name%5B%24in%5D%5B%5D=I,B&Display_Name%5B%24in%5D%5B%5D=R"

You can also use greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, etc

 Dictionary_no[$gte]=55
 Dictionary_no[$lt]=43
 Dictionary_no[$eq]=55
 Dictionary_no[$ne]=55
 etc

For example:

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?Dictionary_no[$lt]=43"

or

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?Dictionary_no%5B%24lt%5D=43"

Search

Lastly we also have the ability to search for a substring in a field:

 $or[Display_Name][$search]=5L37
 $or[Display_Name][$search]=5L38

For example:

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?$or[Display_Name][$search]=5L37&$or[Display_Name][$search]=5L38"

or

 curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: <api_key>" "https://api.thedog.io/dictionary?%24or%5BDisplay_Name%5D%5B%24search%5D=5L37&%24or%5BDisplay_Name%5D%5B%24search%5D=5L38"
