Strapi filtering localization with images

Question

I think problem may be in how I compose the request for API?

According to strapi documentation strapi docs there is possible to filter data by using following syntax. GET /api/:pluralApiId?filters[field][operator]=value example: Example request: Find users having 'John' as first name

So my goal is get images and text for specific localization for my collection AboutBox which contains 3 text fields and 1 media type. My request look like this: api/about-boxes?populate=*&?filters[locale][$eq]=en

What return request look like:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "attributes": {
                "title": "About us",

                        }
                    ]
                }

        }
    ],
    "meta": {
        "pagination": {
            "page": 1,
            "pageSize": 25,
            "pageCount": 1,
            "total": 1
        }
    }
}

What I am expecting is get only data where is: "locale": "en", not the one where is "locale": "cs",

basically without this block

"localizations": {
                    "data": [
                        {
                            "id": 2,
                            "attributes": {
                                "title": "O nás",
                                "createdAt": "2023-02-08T07:47:50.849Z",
                                "updatedAt": "2023-02-10T14:04:21.010Z",
                                "publishedAt": "2023-02-10T14:04:20.963Z",
                                "locale": "cs",
                                "text": "Ve společnosti CGI poskytujeme širokou škálu služeb a řešení, která našim klientům významně pomáhají finančně a technologicky růst.

                            }
                        }
                    ]
                }

Also for unknow reason when I get request for czech localization I did not get data in return: czech request return

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

I found the solution problem was in request type added question mark after &. original wrong request:

api/about-boxes?populate=*&?filters[locale][$eq]=en

So the request should look like this:

api/about-boxes?populate=logo&filters[locale][$eq]=en

Or second variant:

api/about-boxes?locale=en&populate=logo

both give same result
