trying to build url for json

[adeibiza]

the main sections i can get but when trying to delve deeper its not so
obvious

eg

album reviews is fine:
http://content.guardianapis.com/search?section=tone%2Falbumreview&format=json&show-fields=all&order-by=newest&api-key=

but cant seem to work out how to get rockandpop live music reviews ?

eg i would've thought this would work:

http://content.guardianapis.com/search?section=popandrock%2Btone%2Flivemusicreview&format=json&show-fields=all&order-by=newest&api-key=

I'm assuming that you are looking for is this webpage on the guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/popandrock+tone/livemusicreview

The key here is that popandrock is a tag within the music section.  So it needs to be prefixed with the section, i.e. music/popandrock.

You want any content that has both tags, music/popandrock and tone/livemusicreview which you can do with our boolean expressions for tags, so music/popandrock,tone/livemusicreview.

Finally in your samples you were specifying a section filter not a tag filter.  A section filter is designed to restrict to say the music section rather than an individual tag, so use the tag filter like so:

http://explorer.content.guardianapis.com/#/search?format=json&show-fields=all&ids=tone%2Falbumreview%2Cmusic%2Fpopandrock

That url takes you to our explorer, the easiest way of figuring out our api because of it's easy experimentation features.

For direct access to the JSON you can just go to: http://content.guardianapis.com/search?format=json&show-fields=all&ids=tone%2Falbumreview%2Cmusic%2Fpopandrock

I hope that helps.
