Apperio

aid: apperio
name: Apperio
description: Apperio is a legal spend management and matter management platform for in-house legal teams and the law firms
  they work with. It connects directly to law-firm time-and-billing systems to give continuous, real-time visibility into
  billed and unbilled ("work in progress") legal spend, benchmarking to negotiate rates, and AI-assisted e-billing review
  against Outside Counsel Guidelines. The Apperio REST API exposes the same secure data that powers the platform's analytics
  — legal-spend analytics, matter (engagement) and invoice discovery, matter tagging, and e-billing invoice approval workflows
  — across its two-sided business/law-firm model. Apperio is a Seedcamp portfolio company and is now part of Persuit.

  name: Apperio Filter API
  description: "The filter endpoints provide resource discovery in Apperio. This has\ntwo basic mechanisms. Firstly there\
    \ are the resource discovery endpoints.\nThese are:\n  * `/api/v1/filter/engagements/`\n  * `/api/v1/filter/invoices/`\n\
    \  * `/api/v1/filter/matter-tags/`\n\nThese endpoints return lists of resource references with decorating metadata\nthat\
    \ can be filtered, ordered and paginated.\n\nSecondly resources may be tagged. The tag management endpoints allow you\
    \ to\ncreate different groupings of matters\n\nFor those familiar with writing SQL queries, the resource discovery endpoints\n\
    can be thought of in a similar way. The `SELECT` section or projection clause\ndetermines which fields are returned. The\
    \ `WHERE` clause or filter section determines\nwhich records are returned and `ORDER BY` section determines the order\
    \ that they are\nreturned in. Ordering and pagination is covered in the section above. Below, we will\ntake each of the\
    \ other sections in turn to show how these are handled on these endpoints. \n\n**Data Projection**\n\nThe filter API is\
    \ designed to provide broad information about resources for easy resource\ndiscovery. The client can choose which denormalised\
    \ fields can appear in the projection\nclause using the `fields` query parameter. Only the fields listed in this query\
    \ parameter,\ntogether with any mandatory fields, will be included in the response.\nThe field names are URL encoded comma\
    \ (%2C) separated.\n\nFor example if I wish to bring back the fields `one`, `two` and `three` I would query the\nendpoint\
    \ with:\n\n```\n...?fields=one%2Ctwo%2Cthree\n```\n\nAnd the response will bring back only those fields and any mandatory\
    \ fields (such as the\nidentifier for the resource). For example the response may be:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"results\": [\n\
    \    {\n        \"one\": 5000.0,\n        \"two\": 5,\n        \"three\": false\n    },\n    {\n        \"one\": 86645.23,\n\
    \        \"two\": 59541,\n        \"three\": false\n    }\n  ],\n  \"pagination\": {\n      \"next\": null,\n      \"\
    previous\": null,\n      \"nextPage\": null,\n      \"previousPage\": null\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe full list of available\
    \ fields can be seen in the response body for that endpoint.\n\n**Resource Permissions**\n\nThe set of resources that\
    \ can be discovered in the API is limited to those that\nthe user generating the token has access to. This can then be\
    \ filtered further\nusing explicit filters; resources that the user is not authorized to see will not\nbe returned.\n\n\
    **Filtering the data**\n\nOn the resource discovery endpoints the returning data can be filtered\nby each of the fields\
    \ on the resource. Each field has been associated with\nthe type of filter that will make it easier to discover resources.\
    \ The filter\ntypes are explained below.  \n\n*Range filters*\n\nRange filters allow a slice of the data to be selected.\
    \ They can be used to\nselect all data less than equal to a value; all data above or equal to a value\nor can be combined\
    \ to return a slice of the data. For example if I have the\nfield `foo` and wish to return all data between 10000 and\
    \ 12000 GBP I would add\nthe filters:\n\n```\n?foo__gte=10000&foo__lte=12000\n```\n\nWhen the field is a monetary field\
    \ it is assumed that these values will be in\nyour organisation's base currency and any transactions in another currency\
    \ will\nbe subject to a exchange conversion on the rate held for the date of that\ntransaction.\n\n**Text filters**\n\n\
    Text filters will return all entries that start with the selected value. For\nexample if I wanted to bring back all matters\
    \ that started with the name 'Pricing'\nI would filter on\n\n```\n?law_firm_name__icontains=Pricing\n```\n\nThese query\
    \ would bring back matters called both 'Pricing development contract'\nand 'Pricing housing development'\n\n**Choice filters**\n\
    \nChoice filters allow both exact matching and a selection of values to be matched.\nFor example, to search for the single\
    \ value apple I would include:\n\n```\n?bar=apple\n```\n\nTo bring back both apples, pairs and mangos:\n\n```\n?bar__in=apple%2Cpair%2Cmango\n\
    ```\n\nWhere the field can be null, the `__isnull` filter is provided\n\n```\n?foo__isnull=true\n```\n\nIf you want to\
    \ incorporate null as one of the choices then `__is_null`\nand `__in` on the same field returns the _union_ of those resources\
    \ that\nmatch one of those values and those resources where this field isn't set:\n\n```\n?foo__isnull=true&foo__in=cucumber%2Ctomato\n\
    ```\n\n**Boolean filters**\n\nBoolean filters filter out data where a field is true or false. For example, if\nI want\
    \ to bring back matters that I haven't yet shared with the business.\n\n```\n?is_shared=false\n```"
