Issue with List Events API

Question

We are currently in the process of building an integration with Front. For our use case, we found the `List Events` API here, to be suitable. We want to only list archive events in a certain time window, and for that, we have tried using the `q` parameter, as mentioned in the document, but it doesn't seem to work, the response always contains all the events, irrespective of the query we use.
Attaching a few curls we have tried

curl --request GET      --url 'https://api2.frontapp.com/events?q=types%3Aarchive'      --header 'Accept: application/json'      --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN'

curl --request GET      --url 'https://api2.frontapp.com/events?q=after%3A1651470943.000'      --header 'Accept: application/json'      --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN'

Combining the before and after parameters would also be helpful.

Looking forward to your help on this.

If you're issuing a curl request, you should specify the values of the "types" array like this:

curl 'https://api2.frontapp.com/events?q\[types\]=archive' ...

You can specify multiple types as follows:

curl 'https://api2.frontapp.com/events?q\[types\]=archive&q\[types\]=assign' ...

The before/after params are added in the same way:

curl 'https://api2.frontapp.com/events?q\[types\]=archive&q\[before\]=1649574000&q\[after\]=1649487600'

Hope that helps!
