The API provides methods for listing resources. For example, you can list apps, list users, and list contracts. Where filters are supported, these API list methods share a common structure for filters.

Why use Filters?

By combining multiple filters (in an AND relation) and utilizing the different operations, you can execute a wide variety of calls to help you achieve the exact response you're looking for.

For simpler use cases, use basic key=value filters.

While both types of filters can be used in conjunction, we recommend using only one.

This guide explains all available filter operations in the Torii Public API, which operations work with which field types, and provides practical examples.

Filter Structure

All filters follow this structure:

{
  "key": "fieldName",  // or { "value": "fieldName" }
  "op": "operationName",  // or { "value": "operationName" }
  "value": "filterValue"  // type depends on the operation
}

Example:

/apps?fields=[{"key":"name","op":"contains","value":"test"}]

Available Operations by Field Type

1. Text Fields (singleLine, multiLine, email, cardNumber)

Supported Operations:

Operation	Description	Value Type	Example
`equals`	Exact match (case-sensitive)	String	`"value": "John"`
`notEquals`	Does not match exactly	String	`"value": "John"`
`contains`	Substring match (case-insensitive)	String	`"value": "john"`
`notContains`	Does not contain substring	String	`"value": "spam"`
`isSet`	Field has any value	N/A	No value needed
`isNotSet`	Field is empty/null	N/A	No value needed

Examples:

[
  {
    "key": "email",
    "op": "equals",
    "value": "john@example.com"
  },
  {
    "key": "firstName",
    "op": "contains",
    "value": "John"
  },
  {
    "key": "description",
    "op": "isSet"
  }
]

2. Numeric Fields (number, currency)

Supported Operations:

Operation	Description	Value Type	Example
`equals`	Exact value	Number	`"value": 1000`
`notEquals`	Not equal to value	Number	`"value": 1000`
`gt`	Greater than	Number	`"value": 500`
`gte`	Greater than or equal	Number	`"value": 500`
`lt`	Less than	Number	`"value": 5000`

Notes:

For currency fields, values are in the base currency unit (e.g., cents for USD)
between requires exactly 2 values: [min, max]

Examples

Example 1: Apps with Multiple Filters

Get all active apps created in the last 90 days, excluding archived ones:

{
  "filters": [
    {
      "key": "status",
      "op": "equals",
      "value": "active"
    },
    {
      "key": "createdDate",
      "op": "relativeDateLess",
      "value": 90
    },
    {
      "key": "state",
      "op": "noneOf",
      "value": ["archived", "deleted"]
    }
  ]
}

Example 2: Users with Compound Criteria

Get all users who are:

Active or offboarding
Not external
Created by specific owners

{
  "filters": [
    {
      "key": "lifecycleStatus",
      "op": "anyOf",
      "value": ["active", "offboarding"]
    },
    {
      "key": "isExternal",
      "op": "equals",
      "value": false
    },
    {
      "key": "createdBy",
      "op": "anyOf",
      "value": [12345, 67890]
    }
  ]
}

Example 3: Contracts with Range and Date Filters

Get all contracts with:

Amount between $10,000 and $100,000
End date in the next 30 days
Status is active or pending renewal

{
  "filters": [
    {
      "key": "amount",
      "op": "between",
      "value": [1000000, 10000000]
    },
    {
      "key": "endDate",
      "op": "relativeDateLess",
      "value": 30
    },
    {
      "key": "status",
      "op": "anyOf",
      "value": ["active", "renewal_pending"]
    }
  ]
}

HTTP Query Parameter Format

When passing filters as query parameters, URL-encode the JSON:

GET /api/apps?filters=%5B%7B%22key%22%3A%22name%22%2C%22op%22%3A%22contains%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22test%22%7D%5D

Which decodes to:

GET /api/apps?filters=[{"key":"name","op":"contains","value":"test"}]

Example: cURL

curl -X GET "https://api.toriihq.com/users?filters=%5B%7B%22key%22%3A%22lifecycleStatus%22%2C%22op%22%3A%22equals%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22active%22%7D%2C%7B%22key%22%3A%22isExternal%22%2C%22op%22%3A%22equals%22%2C%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%5D" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Example: JavaScript


## Example: JavaScript

```javascript
// Get apps containing "slack" created in the last 30 days
const filters = [
  { key: "name", op: "contains", value: "slack" },
  { key: "createdDate", op: "relativeDateLess", value: 30 }
];

const query = new URLSearchParams({
  filters: JSON.stringify(filters),
  fields: "id,name,activeUsersCount"
});

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.toriihq.com/apps?${query.toString()}`,
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } }
);

const { apps } = await response.json();
console.log(apps);

Tips for Effective Filtering

Use contains for text search — more forgiving than equals
Combine multiple filters — API joins them with AND logic
Use anyOf for "match any" — more efficient than multiple filters
Use isSet/isNotSet — to find fields with or without values
Specify fields — limit returned data to reduce response size
Check the response schema — different endpoints return different field sets
