I have an array of item_id's which I want to get via a filter. It are items in one app. I can call them one by one using GET, but I prefer using a filter to avoid doing 100's of calls. 

 

Is this possible?

The reason is this: I have an app with Contacts and and app with Organisations. I use a filter to get certain contacts, but I need the corresponding organisation too, but I only have the item_id 's.

How to do this the best way?

We have an app-reference on the contact, which references to the orgainsation.

  When you get an contact app items you also get a mini version of any items referenced. This might be enough information for you.

  Otherwise you can create a filter based on the app reference field and pass it a list of item ids to match.

  All the best,

  :) We cannot use the built-in contacts app unfortunatedly, that would solve huge amount of issues if that contacts-part was a bit more extended (because we get all contact info with the export then!)

  We have to use our homemade contacts app for contacts for now. We reversed the app-reference so we can filter on the app-reference field indeed, that works okay. 

  We keen getting stuck in organisations vs contacts, my last issue was in this same category :) Strange that it is only us :p

  Thanks for the reply!

  Just a short follow-up: We have updated the API so you can now filter by item_id (and app_item_id). Just use item_id or app_item_id as the filter key and give it an array of item ids (or app item ids).
