Filters that do not apply

An unrecognised parameter does not cause an error: the API returns 200 ok and ignores that filter. Check parameter names and values when results are broader than expected. Wildcards are not supported.

Check user_input in the response to see which parameters the API accepted. Follow Debugging API requests for a step-by-step check.
