Filtering on streams

[mehdihadeli]

Hi, Is it possible filtering in the context of all streams, or it is just possible with projections? Currently, there is functionality for getting stream by streamId, what about some more advanced filters?

There are two sets of APIs - All, and Stream level. That's the fundamental way in which ESDB operates.

The All APIs let you specify filters; the Stream ones only support paging and not much in the way of filtering. In general these are the two typical modes of accessing the data.

I'd recommend:

• using the gRPC API (this one is being phased out)
• asking questions like this on the forum - this repo has a low number of readers and watchers, and you're question is more discussion style than asking a very direct question
• explaining more about your actual use case in your question - that'll help people to give you contextual advice as to the best approach.
