Query entries get response Bad Request

[iprognos]

I tested the contentful entries query:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)
https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/1jdsnorf6e9t/entries?access_token=02d0e52b0cfb62cb9fc011cfe849191fd58a9abb285a388afd68720cf9ab1df7&content_type=category

I switched from dog to category because I don't have dogs in my blog, other then that, I used it this way:

ul contentful-entries="content_type=dog"
li ng-repeat="dog in $contentfulEntries.items"
{{ dog.fields.name }}
/li
/ul

I have also tried with CURL and followed the documentation: https://www.contentful.com/developers/documentation/content-delivery-api/http/#search-content-type.

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer 02d0e52b0cfb62cb9fc011cfe849191fd58a9abb285a388afd68720cf9ab1df7' 'https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/1jdsnorf6e9t/entries?content_type=category';
{
"sys": {
"type": "Error",
"id": "InvalidQuery"
},
"message": "The query you sent was invalid. Probably a filter or ordering specification is not applicable to the type of a field.",
"details": {
"errors": [

]
},
"requestId": "c0e-1773132314"
}

Maybe only dogs is searchable...

Strangley I was able to filter by doing: query=all, then I get 3 entries instead of all posts, categories and authors. But this is not good enough.

Maybe contetful is not production ready and is not meant for building blogs?

@iprognos — When querying the Contentful API you must use the content type ID.

Try this:
https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/1jdsnorf6e9t/entries?access_token=02d0e52b0cfb62cb9fc011cfe849191fd58a9abb285a388afd68720cf9ab1df7&content_type=5KMiN6YPvi42icqAUQMCQe

where 5KMiN6YPvi42icqAUQMCQe is the id of your category content type.

You can see al content types using:
https://cdn.contentful.com/spaces/1jdsnorf6e9t/content_types?access_token=02d0e52b0cfb62cb9fc011cfe849191fd58a9abb285a388afd68720cf9ab1df7

I would really recommend reading through the entire content delivery API documentation here: https://www.contentful.com/developers/documentation/content-delivery-api/

Can you let me know if it works so I can close this issue? Thanks!
