Search for Feeds

The query feeds endpoint lets you search for feeds.

Examples

Querying My Feeds

// First page query
var firstPage = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new { created_by_id = "john" },
        Limit = 10,
        Sort = new List<SortParamRequest>
        {
            new SortParamRequest
            {
                Field = "created_at",
                Direction = -1
            }
        }
    }
);

// Second page using next cursor from first page
var secondPage = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new { created_by_id = "john" },
        Limit = 10,
        Sort = new List<SortParamRequest>
        {
            new SortParamRequest
            {
                Field = "created_at",
                Direction = -1
            }
        },
        Next = firstPage.Next
    }
);

Querying Feeds Where I Am a Member

var response = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new
        {
            members = new { __in = new[] { "john" } }
        }
    }
);

Querying feeds by name or description

// Search public feeds by name
var response1 = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new
        {
            visibility = new { __eq = "public" },
            name = new { __q = "Sports" }
        }
    }
);

// Search public feeds by description
var response2 = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new
        {
            visibility = "public",
            description = new { __q = "tech" }
        }
    }
);

Querying feeds by creator name

var response = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new
        {
            visibility = "public",
            created_by = new { name = new { __q = "Thompson" } }
        }
    }
);

A complex example

Search for user feeds where text matches the feed's name, description or creator's name:

var response = await _feedsV3Client.QueryFeedsAsync(
    request: new QueryFeedsRequest
    {
        Filter = new
        {
            group_id = "user",
            __or = new[]
            {
                new { name = new { __q = searchQuery } },
                new { description = new { __q = searchQuery } },
                new { created_by = new { email = new { __q = searchQuery } } }
            }
        }
    }
);
