Standardizing filters on List Assay Results Endpoint

Non-standard filter parameters (i.e. minCreatedAt and maxCreatedAt) are being marked DEPRECATED in favor of createdAt for the List Assay Results endpoint

What’s changing?

We’re fixing the filter parameters for the List Assay Results endpoint to accept the documented format, and to inline with the standard filter parameters used across the Benchling API. Previously, filtering the results from this endpoint required using the minCreatedAt and maxCreatedAt parameters. Despite the fact that these were documented as accepting RFC 3339 timestamps, in reality the parameters only accept Unix timestamps.

Going forward, we’re correcting the documentation for the minCreatedAt and maxCreatedAt parameters to indicate they accept Unix timestamps. As part of this fix, we also added a new createdAt parameter that accepts the RFC 3339 format. createdAt additionally accepts operators using dot format (e.g. createdAt.gt), making the List Assay Results endpoint consistent with other listing endpoints. As a result, we have marked the minCreatedAt and maxCreateAt parameters as DEPRECATED in favor of the standard createdAt parameter. Both minCreatedAt and maxCreatedAt will continue to be supported until a future sunset date.

For more information on using the createdAt filter parameter and operators, check out the Benchling API Reference.

When is this happening?

This change is now live! Assay Results filter parameters are now correctly documented, and the endpoint supports the createdAt parameter.
