I have an content type entry in Contentful that has fields like this:
"fields": {
"title": "How It Works",
"slug": "how-it-works",
"countries": [
{
"sys": {
"type": "Link",
"linkType": "Entry",
"id": "3S5dbLRGjS2k8QSWqsKK86"
}
},
{
"sys": {
"type": "Link",
"linkType": "Entry",
"id": "wHfipcJS6WUSaKae0uOw8"
}
}
],
"content": [
{
"sys": {
"type": "Link",
"linkType": "Entry",
"id": "72R0oUMi3uUGMEa80kkSSA"
}
}
]
}
I'd like to run a query that would only return entries if they contain a particular country.
I played around with this query:
https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/aoeuaoeuao/entries?content_type=contentPage&fields.countries=3S5dbLRGjS2k8QSWqsKK86
However get this error:
The equals operator cannot be used on fields.countries.en-AU because it has type Object.
I'm playing around with postman, but will be using the .NET API.
Is it possible to search for entities, and filter on arrays that contain Objects?
Still learning the API, so I'm guessing it should be pretty straight forward.
Update:
I looked at the request the Contentful Web CMS makes, as this functionality is possible there. They use query params like this:
filters.0.key=fields.countries.sys.id&filters.0.val=3S5dbLRGjS2k8QSWqsKK86
However, this did not work in the delivery API, and might only be an internal query format.
Figured this out. I used the following URL:
https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/aoeuaoeua/entries?content_type=contentPage&fields.countries.sys.id=wHfipcJS6WUSaKae0uOw8
Note the query parameter fields.countries.sys.id
