I really need help adding Search Constraints so that I can limit the results I get from my GET request through the bubble data API. I seem to be adding query parameters incorrectly. I am writing a nodejs server that talks with the bubble database to get the data. I am currently following the quicks…

I have noted that same question has been asked several times with no response leave alone answers. I am struggling with the same. First of all, hope you have checked these guidelines here Introduction - Bubble Docs . I am also looking at an example from network logs of dropsource that is powered by …

Hi both, Constraints can be tricky, I wrote an example in this post: [image] GET API call from 3rd party to bubble APIs Hi Ramzy Sorry about the delay, my kid decided to be sick today… Anyway, as I understand it you want to do a search for a THING, and this thing has a…

Wrote a couple of examples below (with axios). const axios = require('axios') let token = 'my-token-here' let endpoint = 'https://my-app.domain.com' let id = '12341415x2341324' let thing = 'customer' const config = { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }; // GET ITEM BY ID async f…

Thank you Simon. Thank you so much. Basically it looks like you have simply added the constraint to the URL directly. Will look at it closely and get back if i have further questions.

[image] simon7: constraints=${JSON.stringify(constraints)}` My tests with postman were working fine. Converting parameters into JSON string is what I and probably many others were missing. I really appreciate for your detailed reply

I keep getting an error saying it can’t be parsed with JSON. I followed the exact URL from your post. https://YOUR-APP.com/version-test/api/1.1/obj/jedissscing?constraints=[{“key”:“jobid”,“constraint_type”:“equals”,“value”:“1234567”}]

I got it working. For some reason when I copied URL from @simon7 other post here I was able to get it working.

Great. It can definately take a couple of tries to get working :smiley:

Is there a list of all possible constraint types for API calls somewhere? EDIT: found it, https://bubble.io/reference#API.get_api.search_call.search_constraints
