Search for Feeds

The query feeds endpoint lets you search for feeds.

Examples

Querying My Feeds

// First page query
$firstPage = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)['created_by_id' => 'john'],
        limit: 10,
        sort: [
            ['field' => 'created_at', 'direction' => -1]
        ]
    )
);

// Second page using next cursor from first page
$secondPage = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)['created_by_id' => 'john'],
        limit: 10,
        sort: [
            ['field' => 'created_at', 'direction' => -1]
        ],
        next: $firstPage->getData()->next
    )
);

Querying Feeds Where I Am a Member

$response = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)[
            'members' => (object)['$in' => ['john']]
        ]
    )
);

Querying feeds by name or description

// Search public feeds by name
$response = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)[
            'visibility' => (object)['$eq' => 'public'],
            'name' => (object)['$q' => 'Sports']
        ]
    )
);

// Search public feeds by description
$response2 = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)[
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'description' => (object)['$q' => 'tech']
        ]
    )
);

Querying feeds by creator name

$response = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)[
            'visibility' => 'public',
            'created_by.name' => (object)['$q' => 'Thompson']
        ]
    )
);

A complex example

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

$response = $feedsClient->queryFeeds(
    new GeneratedModels\QueryFeedsRequest(
        filter: (object)[
            'group_id' => 'user',
            '$or' => [
                (object)['name' => (object)['$q' => $searchQuery]],
                (object)['description' => (object)['$q' => $searchQuery]],
                (object)['created_by.name' => (object)['$q' => $searchQuery]]
            ]
        ]
    )
);
