24.4. Searching Events
The
events collection provides search queries similar to other resource collections. An additional feature when searching the events collection is the ability to search from a certain event. This queries all of events since a specified event.
Querying from an event requires an additional
from parameter added before the search query. This from argument references an event id code.
Example 24.3. Searching from an event
GET /api/events;from=1012?search=type%3D30 HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/xml
This displays all events with
type set to 30 since id="1012"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

Important
The
from argument previously used the following format:
/api/events?search=type%3D30&from=1012
This format is now depreciated.
