GET request to API, invalid parameter

[eric godart]

Hello,

I am using the API GET request to retrieve a list of bookings in Motopress.

If I use this url request, it is ok: https://hbdemo.getmotopress.com/your-demo-id/wp-json/mphb/v1/bookings?context=view&page=1&per_page=5

Now if I want to get only bookings from 2022-08-08 I tried this url request (according to REST API documention) in my python script:
https://hbdemo.getmotopress.com/your-demo-id/wp-json/mphb/v1/bookings?context=view&page=1&per_page=5&after=2022-08-08

return is:

code
rest_invalid_param
message
Paramètre(s) invalide(s) : « after »
message_tre
s
message_invalide
s
data
status
400
params
after
Date non valide.
details
after
code
rest_invalid_date
message
Date non valide.
data

Basically it says that “after” is not a valid parameter. Can you help ?

Thanks !

Hi, you can use the example of the filter to get the bookings for a certain period:

{
  "filter":{

      "meta_query":{

         "relation":"AND",
        "date":{

           "key":"mphb_check_in_date",
           "value":[
              "2022-10-26",
              "2023-10-27"
           ],
           "compare":"BETWEEN",
           "type":"DATE"
        }
     }
  }
}

Hi,

Have you tried this filter yourself ?
I just tried it both on my website and online on the demo and it gives me exactly the same result with or without the filter ???
It does not filter anything.

Any suggestion ?

Hello Eric,

Thanks for linking this thread.

I just tried on my side it doesn’t work, but the thing is I don’t know how to formulate the request, filter being an object, I don’t know if it should be in the parameters.

But since the API is always returning the same result as you said, we have no way of knowing what’s wrong.

Maybe an admin or a support member could give us a full cURL sample including the filter? That would definitely help.

Best Regards,

Loris

PS: (sorry for the duplicate I thought I was replying to the other thread)

for information this is the command I used:
curl -X ‘GET’ \
‘https://hbdemo.getmotopress.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-json/mphb/v1/bookings?context=view&page=1&per_page=25&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Brelation%5D=AND&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Bdate%5D%5Bkey%5D=mphb_check_in_date&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Bdate%5D%5Bvalue%5D=2022-10-26&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Bdate%5D%5Bvalue%5D=2023-12-31&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Bdate%5D%5Bcompare%5D=BETWEEN&filter%5Bfilter%5D%5Bmeta_query%5D%5Bdate%5D%5Btype%5D=DATE’ \

Please check the screenshot to learn how to send a request with filter https://prnt.sc/Eo3A_aGV52oo

[eric godart]

it still does not filter anything.

Is it working for you ?

Hi, could you check if the default WordPress Rest API works correctly and if there are no issues at Tools > Site Health?

Hello Thierry,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve consulted with our developers and they have found that complex nested requests can not be executed on our Rest API demo site https://motopress.github.io. Please test the request with a filter query in special software like Postman software and it should work correctly.

Best regards,
John Davis

So basically the filter does not work. I am a bit fed up to have to wait for so long to get such an answer.
I will make myself a python script to get all the orders and then filter them out.
Regards,
Thierry
