Required Scalar Arguments

  • <account-id> (string)
    • Account ID to which the filter belongs.
  • <filter-id> (string)
    • ID of the filter to be updated.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Filter:
  account-id: string
  advanced-details:
    case-sensitive: boolean
    extract-a: string
    extract-b: string
    field-a: string
    field-a-index: integer
    field-a-required: boolean
    field-b: string
    field-b-index: integer
    field-b-required: boolean
    output-constructor: string
    output-to-field: string
    output-to-field-index: integer
    override-output-field: boolean
  created: string
  exclude-details:
    case-sensitive: boolean
    expression-value: string
    field: string
    field-index: integer
    kind: string
    match-type: string
  id: string
  include-details:
    case-sensitive: boolean
    expression-value: string
    field: string
    field-index: integer
    kind: string
    match-type: string
  kind: string
  lowercase-details:
    field: string
    field-index: integer

  parent-link:
    href: string
    type: string
  search-and-replace-details:
    case-sensitive: boolean
    field: string
    field-index: integer
    replace-string: string
    search-string: string
  self-link: string
  type: string
  updated: string
  uppercase-details:
    field: string
    field-index: integer

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
