Query Parameter or URL Placeholder on GET Collection

#1

I was expecting this to be easy but…

I have a GET COLLECTION from Backendless and I want to filter it for one of the fields/objects, which is ownerId. Have tried two methods…

Query Parameter - I have the below two screen shots;

The above is not working…

URL Placeholder - am testing the URL with the aim of putting in a placeholder, so I have this: …/data/UserWorkouts?ownerId=lisa@lisa.com. I would ultimately replace lisa@lisa.com with {} and link the placeholder to a page variable…but the above URL does not filter the collection by that ownerId when I test.

Help appreciated!?

just to be sure, does you backend support the filtering?

Thanks Johannes.

It did occur to me that Backendless may not allow it, but I couldn’t find any documentation on their site that confirmed it. I was hoping someone with knowledge of Backendless here might know…

Thanks

FYI - Backendless does allow it, and you can experiment with it in their REST Console. Put your parameter in the ‘Where’ field, same for other stuff like sorting, and you can test. And when it works, copy the successful URL and drop it in the API.
