The API supports filtering through both query parameters and in-query operators. This page covers the parameter-based approach — see query operators for inline syntax.

​
Domain filtering

Restrict results to specific domains or exclude unwanted ones.

​
Include domains

Return results only from the specified domains: 
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=python+tutorials&includeDomains=docs.python.org,realpython.com" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Exclude domains

Remove specific domains from results: 
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=python+tutorials&excludeDomains=w3schools.com,pinterest.com" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Wildcards

Match all subdomains with *: 
# Include all subdomains of example.com
?includeDomains=*.example.com

# Exclude all subdomains of example.com
?excludeDomains=*.example.com

​
Date filtering

Filter results by publication date using relative ranges or absolute dates.

​
Relative date ranges

Use dateRange for common time windows: 
# Results from the past week
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=tech+news&dateRange=week" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Available values: day, week, month, year, 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, 1y.

​
Absolute date ranges

Use dateFrom and dateTo for specific date boundaries: 
# Results from Q1 2025
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=quarterly+earnings&dateFrom=2025-01-01&dateTo=2025-03-31" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
You can use one or both:
  • dateFrom alone — results from that date onward
  • dateTo alone — results up to that date
  • Both — results within the range

​
Content filtering

Filter by file type or where terms appear on the page.

​
File type

curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=annual+report&filetype=pdf" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Title, URL, and body text

# Term must appear in the page title
?intitle=tutorial

# Term must appear in the URL
?inurl=api

# Term must appear in the body text
?intext=benchmarks

​
Combined filtering

Filters stack — combine them to narrow results precisely: 
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=machine+learning&includeDomains=arxiv.org,github.com&dateRange=month&filetype=pdf&limit=20" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
This searches for machine learning PDFs on arxiv.org and github.com from the past month.
