associations endpoinst query for post associations

[nheffelman]

I'm trying to query for a post association with AssociationValuePrefix(wildcard query).

If I do so, I get {'error': 'GetPostAssociations: GetPostAssociationsByAttributes: : DBGetPostAssociationsByAttributes: : DBGetPostAssociationIdsByAttributes: invalid query params: missing AssociationValue'}

If I include an associationValue with an empty string or a string with a random value i get
{'error': 'GetPostAssociations: GetPostAssociationsByAttributes: : invalid query params: both AssociationValue and AssociationValuePrefix provided'}

[nheffelman]

yeah, i can't see any way to possibly use AssociationValuePrefix

I'm sure it's not there to intentionally not be used, but it is unusable. You cannot use it to query. It breaks all queries if it is included.

@nheffelman - you need to specify the AssociationType if you wish to query using AssociationValuePrefix. Here's an example:

curl 'https://node.deso.org/api/v0/post-associations/query' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"PostHashHex":"4f96f087f77f318042fcea42425b3b4a725951f4aa7438ef82b117d42c9b4629","AssociationType":"REACTION","AssociationValuePrefix": "L"}' \
  --compressed

Thanks lazynina, after I saw your curl request worked with my post hash hex, I figured out I didn't need to include anything but posthashhex, type, and value prefix. Now i'm getting the response i wanted. I had been additionally including transactorKey and appKey in my request.

@nheffelman - glad it's working for you now. transactorKey and appKey will further filter your results, but is likely not what you're looking for.
