Body

​
keyword
string
default:""
The Regular Expression string to search for a phrase or keyword within a Market’s name, description, or subtitle.With a few notable exceptions below, this value can be treated as a case-insensitive string search for the market title.Special Characters:
  • (Foo) - Due to these being capture groups in Regex, these will need to be escaped as \\(Some Text\\) if you want to search for literal (). Actual capture groups are not used by this endpoint, however you can still use them to define group patterns, such as (Stainless )?Steel (Manufacturer|Supplier).
  • [Foo] - Character Class. Square brackets are used to define a character class, which allows you to match any one of the characters inside the brackets. For example, [abc] matches either a, b, or c. If you want to search literal [Foo], escape the query as \\[Foo\\].
  • {Foo} - Quantifier. Curly braces are used as quantifiers to specify the number of times an element should be matched. For example, a{2,3} matches the letter a if it appears 2 or 3 times. To search for literal {Foo}, use \\{\\}.
NOTE It is highly unusual for market names to contain [] or {}.
