Tag filtering

If you supply Tags with your parameter data, they will act as indexes, so they can be used to efficiently filter data.

Using tag filters

When calling the /parameters/data endpoint, you can include a tagFilters property in your payload. This property references an array of objects, each with the following structure:

• tag - The name of the tag to filter by
• operator - A comparison operator
• value - The value to compare against

For example, to fetch only the data recorded on the second lap, you can filter on a LapNumber tag as follows:

{
    "tagFilters": [{
        "tag": "LapNumber",
        "operator": "Equal",
        "value": "2.0"
    }]
}

Note that the value can also be an array, in which case data that matches the chosen operator for any value is returned:

{
    "tagFilters": [{
        "tag": "LapNumber",
        "operator": "Equal",
        "value": [ "2.0", "4.0" ]
    }]
}

But also note that multiple filters for the same tag apply in combination, so:

{
    "tagFilters": [{
        "tag": "LapNumber",
        "operator": "Equal",
        "value": "2.0"
    },{
        "tag": "LapNumber",
        "operator": "Equal",
        "value": "4.0"
    }]
}

Is incorrect because a LapNumber cannot be both "2.0" and "4.0".

Supported operators

Each object in the tagFilters array can support the following operator values:

• Equal
• NotEqual
• Like
• NotLike

Equal and NotEqual test for true/false exact string matches.

Like and NotLike perform a regular expression match, so you can search by pattern. For example, to get the Speed parameter values tagged with a LapNumber which is either 2 or 4, you can use the expression ^\[24\]\\. to match values 2.0 and 4.0:

curl "https://telemetry-query-testing-quickstart.platform.quix.io/parameters/data" \
     -H "Authorization: bearer ${token}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
         "tagFilters": [{
             "tag": "LapNumber",
             "operator": "Like",
             "value": "^[24]\\."
         }],
         "numericParameters": [{"parameterName": "Speed"}],
         "from": 1612191182000000000,
         "to": 1612191189000000000
     }'
