[DONE] API: Retrieve filtered records with multiple filters is not working

🔧 Bugs & Issues

I’m using the API - Retrieve filtered records for an app and trying to evaluate for two filters: single category and status fields. Here is my code:

{
  "filters": [
    {
      "field_id": 1234,
      "field_type": "single_category",
      "match_type": "equal",
      "values": [
        {
          "value": "Category 1"
        }
      ],
      "type": "category"
    },
    {
      "field_id": 5678,
      "field_type": "status",
      "match_type": "equal",
      "values": [
        {
          "value": "Published"
        }
      ],
      "type": "category"
    }
  ]
}

The problem is that it is only evaluating the first filter (single_category > “value”: “Category 1”) and ignoring the second filter (status > “value”: “Published”). The Filter | Tape Developers documentation mentions,

For every supported endpoint, multiple filters can be provided which get concatenated with the boolean AND operator.

Is this a bug, or must I write the code differently?

PS: Here is a related thread [DONE] API: Filter by “unique id” is not working, but in that case, it only evaluates for one filter. I’m trying multiple filters.

Found the solution thanks to @Tim. The second filters is a status field, so it needs to be type: status instead of type: category

 {
      "field_id": 5678,
      "field_type": "status",
      "match_type": "equal",
      "values": [
        {
          "value": "Published"
        }
      ],
      "type": "status"
    }
  ]
}

Hi @Luis this seems to be the AND with multiple filters what if we need to check multiple filters with OR i.e. if this filter does not work then check for this

The filter documentation mentions:

For every supported endpoint, multiple filters can be provided which get concatenated with the boolean AND operator.

I don’t think there is a way to filter by OR.
