GET

/api/admins

Requires Authorization: TOKEN

Query parameters

Param	Type	Description
page	Number	The page (aka. offset) of the paginated list (default to 1).
perPage	Number	The max returned admins per page (default to 30).
sort	String	Specify the ORDER BY fields. Add `-` / `+` (default) in front of the attribute for DESC / ASC order, eg.: `// DESC by created and ASC by id ?sort=-created,id` Supported admin sort fields: `@random`, `id`, `created`, `updated`, `email`, `name`
filter	String	Filter expression to filter/search the returned admins list, eg.: `?filter=(id='abc' && created>'2022-01-01')` Supported admin filter fields: `id`, `created`, `updated`, `email`, `name` The syntax basically follows the format `OPERAND OPERATOR OPERAND`, where: `OPERAND` - could be any of the above field literal, string (single or double quoted), number, null, true, false `OPERATOR` - is one of: `=` Equal `!=` NOT equal `>` Greater than `>=` Greater than or equal `<` Less than `<=` Less than or equal `~` Like/Contains (if not specified auto wraps the right string OPERAND in a "%" for wildcard match) `!~` NOT Like/Contains (if not specified auto wraps the right string OPERAND in a "%" for wildcard match) `?=` Any/At least one of Equal `?!=` Any/At least one of NOT equal `?>` Any/At least one of Greater than `?>=` Any/At least one of Greater than or equal `?<` Any/At least one of Less than `?<=` Any/At least one of Less than or equal `?~` Any/At least one of Like/Contains (if not specified auto wraps the right string OPERAND in a "%" for wildcard match) `?!~` Any/At least one of NOT Like/Contains (if not specified auto wraps the right string OPERAND in a "%" for wildcard match) To group and combine several expressions you could use brackets `(...)`, `&&` (AND) and `\|\|` (OR) tokens.
fields	String	Comma separated string of the fields to return in the JSON response (by default returns all fields). Use `` to target all keys from the specific depth level. For example: `?fields=,expand.author.name`
skipTotal	Boolean	If it is set the total counts query will be skipped and the response fields `totalItems` and `totalPages` will have `-1` value. This could drastically speed up the search queries when the total counters are not needed or cursor based pagination is used. For optimization purposes, it is set by default for the `getFirstListItem()` and `getFullList()` SDKs methods.
