Hi,
i am new to Mautic ,
currently i am working in Python and i need to get the contacts from mautic, for that i use the
_**[https://xyz.mautic.net//api/contacts](https://xyz.mautic.net//api/contacts)**_ API; this will get all the data when i call the API
To avoid the duplication and to avoid the processing of bulk amount of data from my end;
Is there any way to add conditions or filters in API call like get all the contact after a particular dateAdded (dateAdded\>=‘2022-01-01T10:26:09+00:00’)
Eg :- [https://xyz.mautic.net//api/contacts?search=dateAdded](https://xyz.mautic.net//api/contacts?search=dateAdded)\>=‘2022-01-01T10:26:09+00:00’
Please help me to fix this,
Thank you

Maybe try advanced filtering as described here:

Hi @prajith,
I am currently facing the same issue. I don’t seem to succeed, although I am using advanced filtering.
Please let me know if you manage to solve it and how.
Thanks!
Later edit: after some more research I found the issue below and managed to fix my code thanks to **escopecz** answer.

GET /api/contacts?
where[0][expr]=orX&
where[0][val][0][col]=dateAdded&
where[0][val][0][expr]=gt&
where[0][val][0][val]=2024-08-02 15:00:00&
where[0][val][1][col]=dateModified&
where[0][val][1][expr]=gt&
where[0][val][1][val]=2024-08-02 15:00:00
I want to get the contacts when their dateAdded or dateModified later than a specific datetime. But the request above doesn’t work. Can someone help me? Thank you

Did you tried OrderBy param for GET/contacts can be used?
Got an Advanced Filtering thread here, If could be helpful for you.
