Filtering

In this guide, we will look at how to filter the data returned in the responses when querying the Previsto API.

Most entities allows for filtering by most of their properties using query parameters.

Example of filtering by query parameters

In this example, we filter the response. As a result, we get only the contacts that match the filter.

Manual filtering using cURL

  -u sk_12345 \
  -d name="Dorris"
