API filter (with python) gives wrong results

[Thijs Schrijvers]

Hi Cats,

I have a question regarding the Cats API v3. I try to filter using the API, however I do not get the results I expect. I only get one result for the following query (I know there are more than one). Is something wrong in my query?

The search endpoints require the POST method with the filter in the body as JSON.

I believe in python it will look like:

response = requests.post(f"https://api.catsone.com/v3/candidates/search", json=filter_cats)

The "query" field in the query string is a used for a boolean type search and does not accept json field filters. But they can be used together.
