Ledger V2 comes with a number of operations allowing you to list resources such as transactions or accounts. In some cases, you may want to filter the results to only include resources that match certain criteria. This is where filtering comes in.

​
Filtering syntax

Filtering is done either:
  • by using a query parameter named query and containing a JSON object describing the filter criteria.
  • by sending the filter criteria as a JSON object in the body of the request.
Here is a value example: 
{
  "$match": { "source": "order::pending" }
}
In this example, we are filtering on a ledger account. The naming convention set on this account is the following: order:XXXX:pending In order to get all accounts, with unique value XXXX of order segment, we use this regex-like syntax order::pending.
An address is divided into segments delimited by semi-colons :. If a segment is empty in the filter, it is interpreted as a wildcard match. Moreover, if the filter ends with a semi-colon, it is interpreted as an open-ended wildcard.
For a metadata filter, the syntax is the following: 
{ "$match": { "metadata[foo]": "bar"} }
In this example, we are filtering on a metadata field named foo with the value bar.

​
Combining filters

The root of the filter object has always a single key. This key is the operation to apply to the filter. In order to combine filters, you can use the $and and $or operations. Here is an example: 
{
  "$and": [
    { "$match": { "source": "order::pending" } },
    { "$match": { "metadata[foo]": "bar" } }
  ]
}
In this example, we are combining two filters using the $and operation. The result will only include resources that match both filters.

Operations

The following operations are supported:
  • $and/$or: Takes expression arrays as parameters.
  • $match: Equality operator. Takes an object containing a single key/value pair as parameter.
  • $lt: Lower. Same format as $match.
  • $lte: Lower or equal. Same format as $match.
  • $gt: Greater. Same format as $match.
  • $gte: Greater than or equal to. Same format as $match.
  • $exists: test the existence of a metadata
  • $not: Inverse the result of the expression. It takes an expression as parameter and returns the opposite decision. To invert the result of a $match operation, you can use the $not operation like this: 
    {
  "$not": { "$match": { "source": "order::pending" } }
}

​
Filterable fields

Depending on the resource you are querying, you can filter on different fields. Here are the exhaustive list of fields you can filter on:

​
Accounts

  • address: The address of the account.
  • metadata[XXX]: The metadata field XXX of the account. You can use the $exists operator to test the existence of a metadata field, or the $match operator to filter on the value of a metadata field.
  • metadata: The account metadata. You can use the $exists operator to test whether the account has metadata or not.
  • balance[ASSET]: The balance of the account for the asset ASSET. You can use the $lt, $lte, $gt, $gte, or $match operators to filter on the balance.

​
Transactions

  • reference: The reference of the transaction.
  • timestamp: The timestamp of the transaction. Note that it is the time at which the transaction has occurred, not the time at which it has been recorded in the ledger. See the reference documentation about bi-temporality for more information.
  • reverted: Whether the transaction has been reverted or not. You can use the $match with the value true or false to filter on this field.
  • account: Either the source or the destination of the transaction. You can use the $match operator to filter on this field.
  • source: The source account address of the transaction.
  • destination: The destination account address of the transaction.
  • metadata[XXX]: The metadata field XXX of the transaction. You can use the $exists operator to test the existence of a metadata field, or the $match operator to filter on the value of a metadata field.
  • metadata: The transaction metadata. You can use the $exists operator to test whether the transaction has metadata or not.

​
Volumes

  • account: The account address of the volume. You can use the $match operator to filter on this field.
  • metadata[XXX]: The metadata field XXX of the volume. You can use the $exists operator to test the existence of a metadata field, or the $match operator to filter on the value of a metadata field.
  • metadata: The volume metadata. You can use the $exists operator to test whether the volume has metadata or not.
  • balance[ASSET]: The balance of the volume for the asset ASSET. You can use the $lt, $lte, $gt, $gte, or $match operators to filter on the balance.
