Looking for SAS Viya API doc on filters

EyalGonen — Mon, 06 May 2024 07:46:00 GMT

Hi all,

At https://developer.sas.com/apis/rest/v3.5/#filters there is supposed to be a link that explains filter expressions:

For a complete description of filter expressions, see the Filtering reference.

However, when clicking this link (on the word "Filtering") I do not see any such page. It looks like this "got lost" during the switch to the new developers.sas.com web site.

Anyone knows where can I find the doc about API filter expressions?

Until it's fixed if you run this you'd pull the old doc HTML, use sed to strip the HTML and output the plain text to a file.

curl -s https://developer.sas.com/reference/filtering/ | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' > filterdoc.txt

Thanks @gwootton

In the meantime I found the doc I needed somewhere else: https://developer.sas.com/apis/rest/#filters

Hu @EyalGonen. On the new developer portal, you can find the Filtering info on the Usage Notes tab of any API. See screenshot below:

Thanks @joeFurbee

In the old developer portal there was a distinction between Viya 3.5 APIs and Viya 4 APIs.

The new developer portal is just for Viya 4 APIs?

Hi @EyalGonen,

There is no distinction on Viya 3.5 an 4 on the new site. You get all of the public APIs. We are working on a story that will add the Viya release cadence to each API, so you can cross check with your version. It should be out in the coming weeks.
