like

Filter stories by checking if a field partially matches the specified value.

Examples Use Cases

filter_query[headline][like]=Mars
Returns all stories with the word Mars in their headline

filter_query[headline][like]=Mars*
Returns all stories where the headline starts with Mars

filter_query[headline][like]=*Mars
Returns all stories where the headline ends with Mars

filter_query[headline][like]=*Mars*
Returns all stories where the headline contains Mars

filter_query[content][like]=quantum
Returns all stories that contain quantum in the content field

filter_query[scheduled][like]=*
Returns all stories where scheduled is defined and its value is blank

Note

Use the value * with like when you want to match empty values only where the field exists. For selecting stories where a field does not exist or is empty, consider using the is operator with the appropriate value.
