Filtering and Column Selection

The Networking API v2.0 supports filtering based on all top level attributes of a resource. Filters are applicable to all list requests.

For example, the following request returns all networks named foobar:

GET /v2.0/networks?name=foobar

When you specify multiple filters, the Networking API v2.0 returns only objects that meet all filtering criteria. The operation applies an AND condition among the filters.

	Note
	OpenStack Networking does not offer an OR mechanism for filters.

Alternatively, you can issue a distinct request for each filter and build a response set from the received responses on the client-side.

By default, OpenStack Networking returns all attributes for any show or list call. The Networking API v2.0 has a mechanism to limit the set of attributes returned. For example, return id.

You can use the fields query parameter to control the attributes returned from the Networking API v2.0.

For example, the following request returns only id and name for each network:

GET /v2.0/networks.json?fields=id&fields=name
