The SAP Concur List Item API provides an automated solution to clients who would like to retrieve and add list items. Use of the API is subject to some limitations on the volume of list data. You may need to manage the initial load of large volumes of data via a file import due to capacity limitations. This is also true if ongoing maintenance of list values involves a large volume.

Limitations: This API is only available to partners who have been granted access by SAP Concur. Access to this documentation does not provide access to the API.

Filtering

Supported APIs

The List Item API supports filtering on the Retrieve First Level Children Items of a List, Retrieve Children of a List Item, and Retrieve Children of a List Item by List APIs. The filter may be applied to the value, shortCode, and shortCodeOrValue query parameters.

Retrieve First Level Children Items of a List
GET /lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=test
GET /lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?shortCode=test
GET /lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?shortCodeOrValue=test
Retrieve Children of a List Item
GET /lists/v4/items/{listId}/children?value=test
GET /lists/v4/items/{listId}/children?shortCode=test
GET /lists/v4/items/{listId}/children?shortCodeOrValue=test
Retrieve Children of a List Item by List
GET /list/v4/lists/{listId}/items/{itemId}/children?value=test
GET /list/v4/lists/{listId}/items/{itemId}/children?shortCode=test
GET /list/v4/lists/{listId}/items/{itemId}/children?shortCodeOrValue=test

Query Syntax

The general format of a query syntax parameter is as follows:

/lists/v4/resource?field_name=<op>:<value>

  • field_name - The name of the field that will be compared against.

  • op - (Optional) The comparison operator to use when comparing the specified value to the field. Defaults to eq.

  • value - The value being checked for.

Ensure the url generated is properly URL encoded. For example, if you have a field_name or value with a &, please convert it to %26.

Examples:

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=PSO

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?shortCode=sw:British

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=ew:Airlines&shortCode=not:British+Airlines

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=sw:Question%3FMark

Conjunction Operators

Complex queries using parentheses are not supported.

There is basic support for OR functionality with the shortCodeOrValue query parameter. shortCodeOrValue will search both shortCode and value properties and return all resources that match either field.

Comparison Operators

Equals

eq returns results where a field is equal to the supplied value. This is the default if no operator is specified.

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=test

/lists/v4/items/{itemId}/children?value=eq:test

/lists/v4/items/{itemId}/children?shortCodeOrValue=eq:test

Contains Pattern

cp returns results where the provided pattern exists in the specified field.

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?value=cp:test

Not

not returns results where a field is not equal to the supplied value.

/lists/v4/items/{itemId}/children?shortCode=not:test

Starts With

sw returns results where a field startsWith the supplied value.

/lists/v4/lists/{listId}/children?shortCode=sw:test

Ends With

ew returns results where a field endsWith the supplied value.

/lists/v4/items/{itemId}/children?value=ew:test
