  • q[post_type_ids] -> Comma-separated post type IDs. Post Type | Post Type Id ---------|---------- Reflection | 1

Filter by Tags

  • q[tag_ids] is array query string, you can include multiple tags using following format:

q[tag_ids][]=11&q[tag_ids][]=33

Filter by specific ayah or range

  • q[filters_attributes][0][chapter_id]=1 -> Reflection of first surah

  • q[filters_attributes][0][from]=1&q[filters_attributes][0][to]: 3 -> Filter down reflection to first 3 ayah of first surah

You can use multiple filters_attributes to tailor results to your needs.

Logical operation for filters

  • q[filters_operation]= OR or AND. OR will send results that matches any filters. AND will perform inclusive operation, i.e return results that matches all conditions.
