ListGroupsAsync API doesn't allow combining filters

Hi,

I’m trying to list all open groups where the name matches a user-defined search criteria, but I’m getting an error whenever I try to combine the name filter with the ‘open’ requirement as such:

client.ListGroupsAsync(conn.session, name: $"{searchCriteria}%", open: true, limit: 20);

The following exception is thrown:

ApiResponseException(StatusCode=400, Message='name filter cannot be combined with any other filter', GrpcStatusCode=3)

If I understand the documentation correctly, this should be allowed: Heroic Labs Documentation | Groups

If I only use one criteria, no exception is thrown.

As a workaround I’m using client-side filtering of the results, so it’s not a critical issue, but would be nice to clarify whether this is the intended behavior or just a bug :slight_smile:

  • Unity3D SDK: 3.9.0

Hello @Theo-Rapidfire,

This behavior is by design, the documentation states:

The name filter is case insensitive and mutually exclusive to the reminder filters.

If the name filter is used, it cannot be combined with the other filters.

Oh wow, I’m blind. Thanks! I’ll stick with the client-side filtering then.
