How do I use filters to an AvaTax API query "api/v2/companies" to find a specific Company Id or other data points?

I am trying to find out how to setup an AvaTax API (RESTful) query by using filters to an AvaTax API query "api/v2/companies" I would like to know what the Account Id and other company properties? Is there Avalara documentation available on this topic?

Solution

Avalara documentation regarding Filtering in AvaTax REST can be found here: https://developer.avalara.com/avatax/filtering-in-rest/

An example of the request you are trying to build would be:

https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/**api/v2/companies**?$filter=companyCode="*{your company code}*"
