URL field names for filtering /models

[iwr-redmond]

I recently tried to link to a subset of /models and found it difficult to do so.

What I wanted to link to was:

Type = Checkpoint
TimePeriod = Month
BaseModel = SD1

It should be something like https://civitai.com/models?type=Checkpoint&TimePeriod=Month&BaseModel=SD1 but this did not work. What is the correct format please?

Hi @iwr-redmond,
The web URLs on CivitAI don’t directly accept API-style query parameters like type, timePeriod, or baseModel. Those filters are handled client-side in the UI.

If you want to filter programmatically, you’ll need to use the public API instead, e.g.:

https://civitai.com/api/v1/models?types=Checkpoint&timePeriod=Month&baseModel=SD1

That will return the correct filtered results in JSON. At the moment, there isn’t a way to generate a shareable UI link with those filters applied — only the API supports it.
