The Userback API utilizes Filtering and Sorting based on Microsoft API guidelines syntax, excluding the use of $.

This allows for the use of the following operators:

eq - Field equals the value
ne - Field is not equal to the value
ge/gtGreater (than) the value
le/lt Less (than) the value
and/or - Logical connectives for multiple conditions
(/) - Allows grouping/ordering of more complex conditional logic

Filtering

Filtering results can be done on all list endpoints using the filter query URL parameter (eg: GET /rest/x.x/feedback/?filter=xxx)

In order to filter records you can perform an equality check like so:

https://api.userback.io/rest/1.0/feedback?filter=name eq 'Joe'

Or utilizing gt to find all feedback with more than 5 votes:

https://rest.userback.io/1.0/feedback?filter=voteCount gt 5

Filters can also be combined using the and/or operators:

//rest.userback.io/1.0/feedback?filter=voteCount gt 5 and feedbackType eq 'Bug'

📘
String Quotations
Note that all string value quotations must use ', not ".
For example: ?filter=name eq 'Joe Doe'
This also is required when it comes to true and false, which are reserved keywords for booleans.

Sorting and Ordering

Sorting is achieved through the sort query URL parameter. If we wanted to sort all feedback from mostly recently modified to least recently, we could use:

https://rest.userback.io/1.0/feedback?sort=modified,desc

Only one field can be sorted at a time.
