Search

Search for groups and devices.

Search results can be filtered by type, ancestorPath, and an arbitrary number of additional filter parameters. Each filter can reference a field of the search result, for example eq=fieldname:value or traverse the asset library graph to reference a related entry, for example eq=traversal1:out:traversal2:in:fieldname:value. All parameters are combined with a logical AND. For all search parameters that include a search key and search value separated by a colon (:) character, the HTTP parameter must be assembled using the following sequence of steps:

  1. URL-encode the search value.
  2. Concatenate the search key (incl. any traversals), the colon character, and result of step 1.
  3. URL-encode the output of step 2. Failure to do so can yield incorrect search results for any search values that include the colon character. For example, a search for entries with an outgoing "manufactured_by" relation whose name starts with "Mfg+Asy Inc" should be expressed as: /search?startsWith=manufactured_by%3Aout%3Aname%3AMfg%252BAsy%2520Inc

Query parameters

typestring[]

Type of group/device to filter. This can be the high level group or device, as well as any custom group or device template that may have been registered.

ancestorPathstring

The path of a common ancestor group to filter results by.

eqstring[]

Filter an attribute based on an exact match. E.g. ?eq=firmwareVersion:ABC123

neqstring[]

Filter by an attribute based on not matching. E.g. ?neq=firmwareVersion:ABC123

ltnumber[]

Filter an attribute based on having a value less than. E.g. ?lt=deploymentId:3

ltenumber[]

Filter an attribute based on having a value less than or equal to. E.g. ?lte=deploymentId:3

gtnumber[]

Filter an attribute based on having a value greater than. E.g. ?gt=deploymentId:3

gtenumber[]

Filter an attribute based on having a value greater than or equal to. E.g. ?gte=deploymentId:3

startsWithstring[]

Filter by an attribute based on starting with specific text. Case sensitive. For example: ?startsWith=model:MOD123

endsWithstring[]

Filter by an attribute based on ending with specific text. Case sensitive. For example: ?endsWith=model:limited%20edition

containsstring[]

Filter by an attribute based on ending with specific text. Case sensitive. For example: ?endsWith=model:quattro

existstring[]

Return a match if the device/group in context has a matching relation/atrribute. E.g. ?exists=installed_in:out:groupPath:/vehicle/001

nexiststring[]

Return a match if the device/group in context does not have a matching relation/atrribute. E.g. ?nxists=installed_in:out:groupPath:/vehicle/001

facetFieldstring

Perform a faceted query. Specify in the format of ?facetField=relation:direction:field

summarizeboolean

Summarize the search results by providing a total, instead of returning the results themselves.

offsetinteger
countinteger
sortstring

A comma delimited list of attributes to sort by, with an optional direction (asc/desc') provided per attribute separated by a colon. Id not provided, asc` is applied.
