Filter by multiple categories

[Francisco Jimenez Cabrera]

Hello,

As requested by you in our meeting we are opening this ticket because we need to be able to filter by multiple categories in the find endpoint.

You can see in the current charmhub.io website it is possible to filter by more than one category, right now this is done on our side but we would like to start using the find endpoint, eg:

https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/charms/find?category=ai-ml,big-data

Thank you,
Fran

Thanks you! I'm transcribing into our trello, https://trello.com/c/sFJPeekV/187-filter-by-multiple-categories, will ask to discuss there, but will update this bug with concrete changes.

I understand you already have one workaround (doing it client-side), but just in case it's helpful, another might be to make one call to the API for each category, and then union/intersect on the client. (Maybe that's what you're already doing?)

FYI, this is now available in staging: curl https://api.staging.snapcraft.io/v2/charms/find?category=ai-ml,big-data
