Query an API list. I am working with a 3rd party API to retrieve a list of jobs from the database. When testing the GET /jobs? API I receive a huge list of "jobs" but I only want to return a list that is "assignedTo" a particular person, or a certain workStation or even if the job is "active":TRUE ? Is this possible to do with API express? Is their a tutorial to show how to filter or use parameters? Thanks for the help

Hello Mike,

Does that server support such a filter? Or you want to filter results on the API Express side?

You can add that filter to the JavaScript component of the API Express service: https://docs.appery.io/docs/apiexpres...

Yes - from what I am seeing I could use the script feature on the API Express.

So I'm returning an array of /jobs?

Each job is assigned to a "workFlowStage"

1. Is it possible to return a list of jobs that are assigned to a workflow stage and leave out the ones that are null.

2. Is it possible to create a dynamic list from the workflow stages so that it populates the list with the stage names? Example: If there is 6 jobs in "welding" and 5 jobs in "paint" and 3 jobs in "final assembly"

   So the list would look like;
   welding
   paint
   final assembly

   Then click on one of those stage names to see the jobs assigned to that stage?

   Anyone out there that could help write a javascript snipit to accomplish this?
